VACCINE VOLUNTEERS
Vaccine Volunteers:
The Wood County Health Department is looking for volunteers to help with the administration of vaccines in the County. This would greatly benefit Otsego as well. We are moving fast on a plan to vaccinate our employees and we could use help. Otsego and the health department are looking for volunteers in the medical field to help administer vaccinations. They would become medical reserve corp volunteers. CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION
We are also looking for support volunteers to help with school sites and other sites throughout Wood County. Support staff would help with registration, traffic flow, and other administrative duties on the days the vaccines would be administered. Volunteers should have quick access to the vaccine as well. I am not exactly sure when they would receive their vaccination but it would be quicker.
The health department has a great plan and I am extremely thankful for the work they are doing for all of us. We just need help to accomplish what we want to accomplish. Please consider helping if you can. Again, we need medical personnel and support staff volunteers.

Knight In Shining Armor Nominations
Knight In Shining Armor Nominations
Please use the following form to inform OHS Student Council about a family in need within the school district. While the family does not need to have students in the district, we do ask that they are a member of the Otsego Community. Please use this form to share information about their current situation as well as how they can best be assisted.
Please be sure to understand that while Knight in Shining Armor (KISA) would love to help all community members in need, we are still a new program, and may not have the funds to do so. With that being said, we will consider each request on a case by case basis. Filling this form out does not guarantee that we will be able to assist the family, but we will try our hardest to do so!
These funds are not for routine expenses such as utilities, bills, rent, etc. It is designed for assisting community members in an emergency situation. This can include but is not limited to unforeseen medical expenses, medical-related travel expenses, and household emergencies such as a fire, water leaks, etc. Please keep this in mind when submitting a nomination.
Please refer to this link at any point during the year as a need arises, and KISA will do their best to help out!
Otsego Food Pantry
