There is officially 1.5 hours left of Give Big Green Bay!!! Let's finish strong and continue to support our FSS families!!

Our FSS clients are working hard to become self-sufficient and break through so many barriers. One of the major barriers impacting our clients is safe and stable housing. Did you know that our FSS clients have the ability to earn money in an escrow account each month?

When FSS clients begin working and earning money they begin contributing more toward their rent. ICS matches what the client pays toward their rent and we put it aside in an escrow fund. The exciting part about that is clients earn a deposit every month and when they graduate our program that money is theirs!!

We have had clients graduate with over $20,000 in their escrow which has allowed them to purchase homes, pay of loans, and just feel financially secure!

You donations to Give Big help our clients reach their goals, earn escrow, and build a better future. Your donations will go a long way!!

The District and Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin will again be providing meal boxes as part of the Farm to Family Meal Distribution on Wednesday, December 2. Each meal box includes 30 pounds of food and a gallon of milk.

Due to great interest at the event last week, the Green Bay Police Department will be on hand at each meal site to direct traffic. New this week, each car will only be allowed to pick up two meal boxes. You may still pick up a meal box for a friend, family member or neighbor who cannot attend, but the limit will be two boxes, unless you get in line again.

General information

The Family Self-Sufficiency Program (FSS) is an employment program available to all families receiving Housing Choice Voucher rental or homeownership assistance. It is voluntary and designed to assist families in becoming self-supporting so they will no longer need to rely on public assistance. There are two requirements to join FSS first is the ability to obtain and maintain employment and second is the desire, willingness and commitment to make a change in your life and to take the steps necessary to become self-sufficient.

They will guide and assist participants with finding the resources to help reach their goals and increase their standard of living by becoming independent from government assistance.
