Freedom House Ministries, Inc.

I love what Freedom House stands for! The staff is committed to changing lives!

There is something special about an organization that, when you try to bless them, you leave feeling more like they did YOU a favor. I am so impressed with the way they run their work with heart, creativity, humility, and excellence. You won't find a more wholistic--or effective--program addressing homelessness out there. I'm proud that it calls Green Bay home. I only wish it were larger, so it could impact more families, since too many have to go on the waiting list. Maybe this is your invitation to join the effort.

The Freedom House is a wonderful opportunity to help families get back on their feet again, assisting their families with opportunities for educational advancement, along with providing the necessities (clothing, food, and household items) to get their lives back on-track. The love and support of those volunteers at the Freedom House, along with the numerous donors makes this all possible.

Freedom House serves a special roll in our community, keeping families together and supporting education to move forward.

I used to work at Freedom House and volunteer. It is an amazing organization that has a heart to help others. They do whatever they can to reach out to those in need and to find people who can fill those needs.

I have been volunterring at Freedom House Ministries since 2010. I have had a alot of opportunity to work at different fundraising events as well as at the facility. The staff, volunteers, and residents are amazing wonderful individuals. Every event and opportunity is life changing. I love to serve and to talk to the residents and hear their stories. I walk away feeling extermely blessed and grateful for all i have and don't have. It has taught me alot.

My kids and I have been volunteering for 3 years to help provide child care. We get the joy of playing with the children who live at the Freedom House while their parents get to take classes. Like they say, the families are getting a hand UP not a hand OUT. The programs at the Freedom House go beyond the basics of food and shelter. They teach the life skills families need in order to NOT return to homelessness. One the most incredible things that the families are taught is to pay their blessings forward. How incredible is that!

I am a donor for Freedom House Ministries for past several years and am always impressed how they are helping out so many families and so close to my home!

I first heard about Freedom House over twenty years ago, as a young Christian; I wanted to make sure that this was a Bible-based organization, and quickly found out that it is! Through the years my support has been in various forms (encouraging staff people, praying, making financial contributions and some material gifts); to me, the Outstanding Hallmark of Freedom House Ministries has always been AND CONTINUES TO BE the Excellent Way in which this ministry lives out the Truth of the Bible in the lives of everyone who comes to them seeking help!!! I feel as though our LORD gives me the privilege of being involved in this crucial ministry, and I recommend Freedom House Ministries to any and all people who truly care about the well-being of people in need, as they offer a most excellent opportunity for people to live their Christian Faith (beyond just speaking about it)!!!!!!!

I have been honored to be part of Freedom House through the years! After each volunteer experience I always walk away so grateful that this ministries serves and builds up families in the Green Bay Area.

As a past Board member of Freedom House for many years I've seen lives touched and changed by the dedication and perserverance of the staff and leadership of this wonderful organization. I continue to donate to the ministry and will continue into the future as they represent the "hand up" vs "hand out" philosophy.

Freedom House is an extraordinary organization.....Robin and the Freedom House staff display are beyond dedicated - each member of the group maintains a personal bond with the residents that permeates throughout the organization. The caring, the services provided and the continued relationships with the "graduates" is a priceless gift offered by Robin and the team....it is a honor to be part of the Freedom House family.

The Freedom House is a nonprofit organization that is second to none. Over the years my family has contributed many goods to the Freedom House, knowing that they are being put to good use by other families in need. We do not live close to the Freedom House, but it's so rewarding to drive the distance to help out others who are getting back on their feet.

I go back to the days when Freedom House came to their current location and facility. Gary LaFave was the president. I was invited for a tour and was blown away by what I heard and saw, not only from the staff but from people who were staying there. God has chosen Freedom House for His glory, and has blessed everyone who has been touched by it. Forget all the self-help ways people try in this world, only God can create a NEW person from the inside out. And that is what Freedom House strives to do - create an environment where families can find shelter from the storms of life, to heal, and to be restored to all God would have them to be. Freedom House brings more people into relationship with God than ANY church. I am sure when I stroll over heaven that I will meet hundreds of people who are there because of Freedom House. EVERY Christian in this community should be supporting Freedom House. God bless Robyn Davis and staff!

I am a past board member for Freedom House. Now that I no longer serve on the board, I continue to support Freedom House through charitable donations. I have always held the credibility of Freedom House in the highest regard. The commitment of the staff and volunteers to assist in turning the lives around of families that find themselves in an unfortunate situation is incredible! I tell all that will listen to what Freedom House does for our community and encourage them to donate (time, materials or money). In all the years I've worked with Freedom House, I've never had anyone come back and tell me of a bad experience!

Freedom House is an amazing non-profit with awe-inspiring staff. I feel lucky to have volunteered with them and will continue to do so. They treat everyone like family and really look to cater to the needs of those seeking their services.

I am a board member and volunteer at Freedom House. I love the mission of the organization and the staff's focus on attaining the mission. The focus is not just on giving a homeless family a place to stay, but also to help them with life skills and spiritual guidance to help them be successful when they leave the program. There is a sense of positiveness that pervades the staff that gives dignity to the residents and a sense of hope. It is a great place to volunteer at as you feel you are making a difference for the residents.

Wow, what can I say about Freedom House Ministries that will even begin to touch on the lives they change? The staff and volunteers at Freedom House Ministries are so dedicated to the mission they serve, and they are really making a difference. By giving residents the tools they need to break the cycle of homelessness, they are changing the Greater Green Bay area one family at a time. I truly believe that Freedom House Ministries will help eradicate homelessness in our area by continuing their mission. Thank you staff and volunteers for creating a positive change!

I have served on the Freedom House Board for the past year. The commitment of the Executive Director and staff is outstanding. I am especially impressed with faithfulness to the mission and the continual desire to meet the needs of the community. I am honored to serve this organization.

I have had the pleasure of serving on the Freedom house board for the past 4 years. During that time I have witnessed a committed staff minister to families in need with kindness and compassion. The programming that Freedom House provides is truly transformational and is the main factor in the overall success of the ministry. More than "just a shelter", Freedom House prepares families for a bountiful life after homelessness by focusing on the whole person. This is a wonderful ministry doing wonderful work.

The Green Bay community is so lucky to have an organization like Freedom House. This amazing non-profit is giving their residents a hand up - not a hand out. Their goal is to break the cycle of homelessness and give the residents the resources needed to better their lives. Between the mandatory financial and parenting classes, chores and family time- they are showing these families a new way to live their lives. Thank you to the staff of Freedom House for the great work you are doing!

back in the 1990s my husband, daughter & i were weekend house supervisors for 3 years 1 weekend a month. It was very rewarding helping the families get their lives back together. It also was a real reality check that depending on any one circumstance, our family could be that family. Then about 6 years ago my employer asked if i would be willing to help with the bookkeeping which i gladly agreed to. I then became a board member. I am not the bookkeeper anymore but still remain on the board and a supporter. This organization is well worth any and all donations. The families are helped via counseling, job training, budgeting, spritially with caring staff. i worked with the staff and to them it is not just a job but a ministry. The staff puts their soul into helping the residents. it is such a blessing. i strongly support it. if everyone would just do a little, a lot can be done.

Wow, this organization is amazing! With over 200 homeless families in Green Bay they are constantly helping families get back on their feet. They focus on not just providing food and shelter, but also classes, day care, job placement, and training. This approach takes many single and repeat homeless families and ensures it will not become a recurrence. Please continue the great work.

Freedom House is such an amazing place! The first time I volunteered there was for a community service day through my church. Since then I have gone back to volunteer with my bible study group. The staff at Freedom House are so wonderful and dedicated to making it a great place for families to be for extra support as they transition. Both times I've volunteered I have prepared and served lunch. We were able to eat with the residents and take time to chat with them. We felt very welcome! The little boy smiling and yelling goodbye to us out the window melted our hearts and will definitely bring us back to Freedom House in the future!

Freedom House is an extraordinary venue....the dedication of the staff is exceptional, the care provided is unconditional, the direction/training offered the residents is unparalleled and the Mission of the Ministry is fulfilled through the success of those individuals who "graduate' from Freedom House.

I started volunteering at Freedom House this past summer where I helped out in childcare while the children's parents were in a financial planning class. It was always bittersweet seeing the kids go because over the weeks you would build relationships and look forward to seeing them, but ultimately you are always happy to see them go because you know that they are moving on to better things. Everyone there is completely committed to helping these families as they come through, and it's very rewarding to be a part of that environment. I plan on returning to help out again over my next winter break.

I have been privileged to teach the Financial Planning course to the residence of Freedom House for 3.5 yrs. It is a course that all residences benefit from, learning to write a resume, to updating an existing resume, and financial budgeting. It is so heart-warming and thrilling to see the smile on their faces when they graduate and hold their certificate. It is pure joy to know at Freedom House we are all working together to bring everyone no matter what their circumstances from the basement to the roof-top. The staff are truly angels here on earth doing Christ's work helping others to have a better life.

I have volunteered off and on for the past several years and also have helped with the Big Fund Raising Events in the past. Sharing time with the families can be so rewarding for the volunteer more so than the residents. Recently I have been in the child care program with the children from ages of few weeks to 12 years of age. One can so be touched there, when, you have the time to play or TALK one on one with the children. I have seen siblings so love one another and protect each other. Have also seen the opposite.
When I was there last week, one of the children asked "are you going to come every Tuesday & Thursday"
that particular week I was there both days because of the shortage of volunteers. The look in their eyes searching for some constant in their lives pulls at ones heart. So if you do have an extra hour or two, I strongly suggest coming to Freedom House and feel the warmth of these families. Doesn't happen overnight but it will come, I promise.

I've been volunteering for Freedom House for nearly a year and a half. I found out about it through my church and I'm glad they gave me the opportunity to serve others. I like to be asked to help when they need it and I'll make room in my schedule to do it. The people are great and the volunteers are focused and dependable. It is a good place to start if you wanc to learn how to serve.

I have been with The Freedom House Ministries for almost two years now and I have thoroughly enjoyed helping them out! This organization is truly dedicated to giving families a temporary home that provides education and assistance to those in need. The thing I like most about Freedom House is that as much as they want you there, they do what they can to help you leave because having a family leave Freedom House means the family is stable and ready to start living life again on their own. As a volunteer, as much as I missed those families that left the home while I was there, I was happier to see they have met their goals and are finally starting a life on their own.

The Freedom House is a wonderful organization that truly helps families transform their lives. As a volunteer, I was able to lead a group of 20 students in a service learning project that focused on homelessness. The students purchased and donated games to the Freedom House and prepared a meal for the residents. The students enjoyed interacting with the residents and staff. As a social worker, I have seen firsthand the impact that the Freedom House has on families.

I was introduced to the Freedom House through my employer for our annual day of giving. We were on-site and helped with some chores at the Freedom House. I was so moved by the program they do for homeless families in my city and county that I wanted to be more involved. I have enjoyed being part of the committee for Freedom House. They people that work their each day are amazing and their hearts are dedicated to the families that are part of the Freedom House.
