Green Bay Cares
Building Hope, One Life at a Time
Green Bay Cares is a community-rooted nonprofit organization based in Green Bay, Wisconsin. We exist to serve individuals and families facing hardship by providing compassionate support, essential resources, and inclusive programs that not only address immediate needs but also empower lasting, positive change.
Founded on the belief that stronger communities begin with caring connections, we work hand-in-hand with local residents, volunteers, and partners to respond to challenges such as food insecurity, housing instability, lack of access to basic needs, and social isolation. Every program we offer is built on respect, inclusion, and a deep commitment to uplifting every member of our community — regardless of their background or circumstances.
Our center at 609 Skyline Blvd serves as a hub for resources, healing, and hope. Whether someone needs a warm meal, help finding shelter, guidance on their wellness journey, or simply a listening ear, Green Bay Cares is here.
???? About Us
Compassion-Driven, Community-Focused, Future-Oriented
Who We Are
At Green Bay Cares, we are more than just an organization — we are a lifeline, a safe haven, and a powerful force for good in our community. Rooted in compassion, driven by service, and guided by integrity, we are dedicated to supporting individuals and families in Green Bay through every stage of their journey — from crisis to stability, and beyond.
We were founded on a simple but urgent belief: everyone deserves dignity, support, and the opportunity to thrive, no matter their circumstances. Too often, people fall through the cracks — struggling silently with hunger, housing insecurity, health challenges, or emotional distress. We exist to catch them, lift them, and walk beside them as they rebuild.
Our work spans emergency assistance, wellness programs, volunteer engagement, youth and family support, and community outreach. But at the heart of it all is connection — real, human connection that reminds people they’re not alone, they’re not forgotten, and they’re not without hope.
We are a team of neighbors, advocates, and change-makers who believe that small acts of kindness can create powerful waves of transformation. We partner with donors, volunteers, local agencies, and grassroots leaders to create a support network that uplifts, empowers, and unites.
When someone walks through our door, reaches out online, or calls us in a moment of need, they’re met with warmth, understanding, and a path forward. Because Green Bay Cares isn’t just our name — it’s our promise.
Our Mission
To provide compassionate support, essential resources, and inclusive programs that address immediate needs and empower long-term change.
We aim to restore dignity, hope, and opportunity to every person we serve.
Our Vision
We envision a stronger, healthier, and more connected community — one where kindness is the norm, where individuals are supported through challenges, and where every person has the opportunity to live a stable, meaningful life.
Our Story
Our journey began with a few concerned neighbors and a single question:
“How can we show up for those in our community who are falling through the cracks?”
From that moment of care and courage, Green Bay Cares was born. What started as a grassroots effort — organizing small food drives and delivering care packages — quickly evolved into a thriving community resource hub.
Over the years, we’ve helped thousands of individuals and families navigate crises, rebuild their lives, and become contributors to a shared vision of collective care.
We’ve grown not only in numbers, but in impact — strengthening our services, expanding outreach, and building partnerships that multiply compassion into action.
Our story is still being written — one act of kindness at a time.

Our Value
The Heart of Our Work
At Green Bay Cares, our work is guided by a core set of values that shape every decision, every program, and every act of service. These principles reflect our deep commitment to dignity, equity, and compassion in all that we do.
???? Compassion
We lead with empathy, kindness, and a deep commitment to the dignity of every individual. Compassion is at the heart of everything we do — from offering a warm meal to lending a listening ear. At Green Bay Cares, no one is just a number. Every person is seen, heard, and valued.
???? Community
We believe that lasting change is built together. By fostering genuine connections between neighbors, families, and local partners, we create a foundation of trust and mutual support. Our strength lies in unity — and in the belief that every voice matters.
????️ Empowerment
Our mission is not only to meet immediate needs but to uplift individuals with tools, resources, and confidence to shape their own future. Through education, advocacy, and opportunity, we help people take charge of their lives and reach their full potential.
Why It Matters
Because no one should have to choose between food and rent.
Because loneliness, hunger, and hardship can affect anyone — often silently.
Because a caring community isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity.
At Green Bay Cares, we believe that the strength of a community is measured by how it treats its most vulnerable members. When a neighbor falls on hard times, it’s not just their struggle — it’s a call for all of us to show up with compassion and purpose.
We are here to meet immediate needs — like a warm meal, a safe place, a listening ear — but also to build pathways for long-term stability and healing. Our work matters because it helps real people facing real challenges: parents working two jobs and still not making ends meet, seniors living alone without support, children growing up without basic resources.
By investing in care, connection, and empowerment, we’re not just helping individuals — we’re building a stronger, more resilient Green Bay.
This work matters.
Your support matters.
Together, we are the difference.
Because poverty, isolation, and crisis can happen to anyone.
Because we all deserve a support system that believes in us.
Because strong communities are built on empathy, action, and shared responsibility.
When we care for one another, we create a Green Bay that thrives together.
