Rainbow House Domestic Abuse Services received a $45,558 a grant from the Basic Needs Giving Partnership of the Greater Green Bay Community Foundation, a funding collaborative which includes funds from the U.S. Venture Open Fund for Basic Needs, the J.J. Keller Foundation, and other community donors. This grant has been provided annually for the past three years to support the operations of our Oconto Outreach Office.
Domestic Violence has significantly increased, both in frequency and severity over the last few years. This funding supports community Outreach and Advocacy in Oconto County.
At Rainbow House, we believe no one deserves to be abused be it emotionally, physically, financially, or sexually. Our prime service is the safety and empowerment of all victims and their children. We will provide prevention, education, and information to communities, families, and schools.
“We are so grateful for the support of the Greater Green Bay Foundation”, said Oconto Legal Advocate Jessica Honish. “Your collective contributions to the Foundation support the mission of so many critical non-profit resources in the Greater Green Bay area”.
