From Humble Beginnings to a Legacy of Service

Since 1991, Freedom House Ministries has been a source of support for families experiencing homelessness in Green Bay. Founded by a group of compassionate Christians, our organization has always been driven by a faith-based mission to serve those in need with dignity and respect. Our guiding principle, “Through Faith and dignity, we shelter families so they can embrace self-worth and obtain stable housing,” has been the cornerstone of our work for over three decades.

From our humble beginnings in a four-bedroom house, we’ve grown significantly to meet the increasing needs of our community. Our expansion to the St. Anthony Drive location in 2003 marked a pivotal moment in our ability to serve more families. In 2014, we further extended our reach with The Bridge campus on the west side of Green Bay, offering subsidized apartments to support families on their journey to stability.

Throughout our history, we’ve consistently adapted to better serve our community. The completion of a remodeled 16-room shelter in 2020 stands as a testament to our ongoing commitment to provide a place of safety for families in crisis. This growth reflects not just an increase in capacity, but an evolution in our approach to addressing family homelessness.

At Freedom House, we believe in the transformative power of love, growth, dignity, community, and trust. Our mission and vision go beyond providing shelter; we strive to empower families, helping them rebuild their lives and find lasting independence. Through our various services, we continue to be a catalyst for change, offering a path forward and renewed hope for families experiencing homelessness in Green Bay.
