Displays:
The financial support of Green Bay Packaging- Baird Division is incredibly generous. They also created the signs and displays used to to provide information about the needs of families experiencing homelessness. Our theme was a "Bed To Sleep In." Participating in the outing meant that you were making sure that families were not sleeping in a car, a tent or doubled up on a couch. To illustrate the challenges of homelessness Green Bay Packaging made a car, a tent and a couch. Each display had a message. Special thank you to Timm Rutkowski and Mike Bagatta for setting up these displays and to Mike and his team for designing them!
