Want to make a difference? Giving back to those less fortunate is always an opportunity for you to lend a hand. Whether you’re a student or a university employee, there are many ways you can bring joy to someone this holiday season.
The Green Bay community has a handful of non-profit orgs aiming to help both families and individuals during the holidays. And they need all the help they can get – BiG, or small: 10 for You to Consider:

⦁ The Salvation Army
⦁ Paul’s Pantry

Even small efforts can have a BiG impact – especially for families who receive all the love and joy from those willing to help. Consider giving back: Go BiG – or go small = It all works! Happy Holidays!
