Good neighbors make great neighborhoods!
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.
Good Neighbor Week 2024 took place September 22nd through the 28th. NeighborWorks Green Bay, Green Bay Neighborhoods, the City of Green Bay, as well as many community partners completed 12 projects helping neighbors in need in our community with minor home repairs, landscaping or yard maintenance. We are forever grateful for the 12 sponsoring organizations who supported the projects and the 13 organizations who provided volunteers allowing the work to be done at no cost to the homeowners.
Good Neighbor Week takes place every year, the last week September. Won’t you join us? We welcome new planning committee members for Good Neighbor Week 2025! Planning starts in January, 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!
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.
Good neighbors make great neighborhoods!
