September 22 through September 28, 2025

Celebrating our 6th Year

Good Neighbor Week 2025 will take place September 22nd through the 28th. NeighborWorks Green Bay, Green Bay Neighborhoods, the City of Green Bay, as well as many community partners plan to take on several projects helping neighbors in need in our community with minor home repairs, landscaping or yard maintenance.

Applications for Good Neighbor Week are now open to nominate yourself or a neighbor who owns and lives in their home in the Green Bay and surrounding communities. Application deadline is May 1st for minor home and yard repairs and landscaping projects. Special consideration is given to the elderly, veterans, low-income households, and individuals facing hardships.

Each year NeighborWorks Green Bay sends a team of eight residents to the Community Leadership Institute: a weekend of leadership training with NeighborWorks America. The team participates in leadership classes and is tasked with coming up with a project to improve their community. The 2019 CLI team created Good Neighbor Week. The week is all about encouraging people to be good to each other, lending a helping hand if possible. Good Neighbor Week 2020 was a very successful beginning of the community-wide event.

Won’t you join us? Planning is already started and we welcome new planning committee members for Good Neighbor Week 2025! Please connect with Vicki Bokelman, Community Outreach Coordinator, vicki@nwgreenbay.org or call 920.593.3716. We promise, it’s the best neighborly thing you will do all year!

With the support of sponsors and volunteers, we’ve been able to transform yards, improve homes with minor home repairs, and create safe, welcoming spaces for dozens of families throughout Green Bay area. Sponsorships start at $500 where every dollar of your sponsorship will fund a project that makes a tangible difference for a local homeowner.

If your organization prefers to make an in-kind gift of project materials, food, or beverages, we welcome that as well—every contribution helps!

We encourage you to be a good neighbor by participating in the celebration of Good Neighbor Week in your neighborhood! Conduct a food drive or trash clean up, create a food pantry, bake cookies and host a porch coffee date, or simply say HI to a neighbor, whatever you do, neighbors caring for neighbors is at the core of every great neighborhood.
