A huge thank you to the Green Bay East community for helping keep Green Bay warm this winter! We are so grateful to everyone who came out to the football game on Friday and donated blankets. Special thanks to the Green Bay East High School Football team and staff for their support in collecting 60 blankets, which will be distributed to organizations serving community members in need this winter. We’re excited to continue our partnership with the school and look forward to future drives that encourage students to stay engaged with their community. If your group or organization would like to join us in collecting blankets before the winter season, please reach out to Rashad at [email protected]. Thank you for making a difference!

One month ago today, we celebrated the ribbon cutting of the City East Center and Apartments. The time has flown by, and we remain deeply grateful for the partnerships and support that made this milestone possible. This project was brought to life through the tremendous efforts of Catalyst Construction, MF Housing Partners, EUA, CJ & Associates, the City of Green Bay, WHEDA, a $1M bipartisan federal appropriation championed by Senator Tammy Baldwin, and Heartland Business Systems! The City East Center is now accepting reservations from community members looking to offer resources and services through the space. If you’re interested in utilizing the center, please reach out to Jill, our Impact Initiatives and Outreach Specialist, at [email protected]. Here’s to co-creating community solutions that strengthen every individual and neighborhood in Brown County! *City East Apartments are not managed by Brown County United Way. Please contact [email protected] for availability* Thank you, Greater Green Bay Chamber, for this fantastic video!
