As Lady Bird Johnson once said, “Where flowers bloom, so does hope.”
The Seeds of Hope Awards were created to celebrate the good happening in the greater Green Bay area and surrounding communities during the public health emergency. The Volunteer Center of Brown County is asking community members in Brown, Shawano, and Oconto counties to submit their stories of how they or someone they know are rising to the challenge by volunteering or planting seeds of hope during these times (from March 1, 2020, and onward). Whether it is helping a neighbor in need, delivering groceries to a homeless shelter, sewing masks for front-line workers and community members, or volunteering on the front lines, we know that the very act of giving plants seeds of hope in our community, and each volunteer is just as important as the next. These scattered seeds of hope help build a stronger community through volunteerism, even during a public health emergency.
We want to celebrate the dedication of these individuals and groups who are giving of their time and energy. Nominating a volunteer or group of volunteers doesn’t have to take a lot of time, but can make a lasting impact on the nominee and their cause. Share your Seeds of Hope story!
The deadline to submit is Thursday, July 2, 2020. See additional information and the nomination form below. The Volunteer Center of Brown County will choose five recipients to receive $200 each to gift to a local cause of their choosing. The Seeds of Hope Awards are made possible by a generous gift from American National Bank.
Please note:
- Recipients will be notified the week of July 20.
- Volunteer activities must have taken place from March 1, 2020, onward.
- Sharing a photo and/or other supporting documents is highly encouraged!
- Awarded funds must be designated to a 501c3 nonprofit or 501c4 organization.
