As part of our monthly inventory process, I take time to reflect on the children and foster families we've supported. We served over 100 children in care last month, and February is shaping up to be even busier. Our foster homes are nearing capacity based on age requirements, emphasizing the need for additional foster homes that can accommodate siblings or older children. If you're interested in learning more, please contact Courtney at (920)448-4144.
We're also grateful for in-kind donations; our wish list is below. Financial donations help support our ongoing efforts. ❤️

We are so excited to share that ground has officially been broken for the Brown County Family Center expansion! ✨

Our board has been working hard at our Capital Campaign over the past year to raise the necessary funds for this project.

A huge thank you to NeighborWorks Green Bay for your partnership, our board member’s, donors, advocates and mentors! We could not have done this without all of you.

Another huge thank you to Zeise Construction for taking on this renovation!

This project will make a meaningful impact by enhancing the lives of local foster children and their families. We are so grateful to play apart in making this happen for the Brown County Community.

Please visit our website to learn more about this campaign and project, as it is still in full swing. Every ounce of assistance is appreciated more than we can express.

Thank you and continue to follow along to see updates!

“To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.”

The Pals Program of Brown County Health and Human Services Department has over 50 children referred by Child Protective Services on their waiting list hoping for a mentor.

Mentors can be single, a couple or a family match. Volunteers spend a few hours at least twice per month in learning or recreational activities. The program offers optional monthly group activities as well. For more information, contact Jenna at (920) 448-6023 or by email at [email protected]

Many young parents don’t have a parent to call for direction, support, information or guidance. Basic life skills like budgeting, nutrition, meal prep and general household organization are common ways that volunteer Parent Pals can mentor young parents. See below for more information.
