Altrusa House

The Altrusa House is a 12 bedroom home away from home for patients and their families that travel more than 50 miles for treatment at one of the area hospitals in Green Bay, WI. Through the fundraising efforts of the Altrusa Club the House was built in 2001. Through various fundraising efforts, such as an annual golf outing, an annual newsletter mailed out to previous donors, and several smaller fundraising efforts plus Grant applications the Club has raised the necessary $100k + funds per year to operate the House, as the guests are only charged a one time key fee of $10.00

Back to School Fair

Our Back-to-School Fair is supported by many businesses, service clubs, churches, personal donations, and grants. We provide school supplies, new backpacks, school spirit shirts, gym shoes and socks, books for the children’s own libraries, and toiletries. Over 100 volunteers and Altrusans staffed the various stations and escorted the children through the Fair. Parents had the opportunity to interact with representatives from the YMCA, the Boys and Girls Club, and other area agencies.
