If you’re not a medical professional, you can still serve a vital role.
Non-medical volunteers will perform tasks such as the following:

1. Opening and closing of center
2. Hydration and rest support for pilgrims
3. Sick or injured pilgrim intake
4. Assistance of medical personnel
5. Inventory and stocking of supplies
6. Pilgrim way-finding and mobility assistance
7. Distribution of Order of Malta and Shrine materials

Order of Malta volunteers at the Hospitality and First Aid Center, both medical and non-medical, are present to handle any first aid problems that arise (cuts, scrapes, bee stings, dehydration, offering water, etc.) but are not present to administer medications or treatments equivalent to a ‘medical clinic’. This is due to liability concerns for the Center and must be respected. Order of Malta medical volunteers are expected to stabilize the person in need of first aid attention and get them the care needed by contacting a first responder team. First responders may be either present on the grounds or called to the site.

The nearest city is Green Bay. The Shrine is located 16 miles northeast from the Hyatt Regency Hotel in downtown, Green Bay. The Hyatt Regency is the headquarters hotel for the Order of Malta’s annual pilgrimage to the Shrine. Other hotels are available around town. Transportation from the airport and to the Shrine should be arranged by each volunteer.

The Order of Malta Hospitality and First Aid Center is at the Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help.
The Shrine is located at 4047 Chapel Dr, Champion, WI 54229

The Order of Malta Hospitality and First Aid Center will be open 9 am to 5 pm on scheduled days of operation. Full-day Volunteers are asked to arrive 15 minutes prior to Hospitality and First Aid Center opening time. See the calendar for a schedule of Days of Operation.

The Shrine is open 7 am to 7 pm, 7 days a week.
