Thank you for joining us at the Love Your City Leadership Breakfast. The conversation around trust — what builds it, what destroys it, and what it costs when leaders lose it — was exactly the kind of honest, substantive dialogue this city needs more of. The core takeaway was simple but demanding: trust is the cornerstone. Not one leadership competency among many, but the foundation everything else is built on. When the gap between words and actions widens, when leaders drift from the people they lead, when empathy quietly retreats — organizations and communities pay the price.
The good news? Every one of those is correctable, and it starts with one honest conversation. We hope you left with something worth acting on. We'd love to hear what landed.
Mark your calendar — our next Love Your City Breakfast is April 16. Bring a colleague, a peer, someone in your sector who needs to be in the room. We'll see you there. Sign up here.

One of the most inspiring collaborations in Brown County happens each year when more than 20 local agencies come together to support neighbors who are unhoused or facing housing insecurity. Over the past month, you may have noticed collection boxes in retail stores across the county labeled “Help for the Homeless Hygiene Drive.” This community-wide effort, led by 91.5FM The Family, collected new, unused hygiene and cleaning products for more 20 agencies in Brown County. The goal was simple but powerful: to provide participating agencies with enough hygiene products to serve people for an entire year. Items such as soap, shampoo, deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpaste, laundry detergent, and cleaning supplies made a tremendous difference—but they are often the hardest for families to access because programs like FoodShare (SNAP) and WIC do not cover them. Because of the generosity of our community, agencies are now better equipped to focus their financial resources on other critical services like housing support, counseling, education, and food assistance. Together, Brown County once again demonstrated how collaboration and generosity can create lasting impact.

Faith Leaders Breakfast with the Mayor Sponsored by Together Green Bay & Thrivent On March 12 at the Bay Beach Wildlife Center, 34 faith leaders from across Green Bay's ecumenical community gathered for a historic breakfast with Mayor Genrich — a morning that one Catholic priest described as unlike anything he had witnessed in his 50 years of ministry in Green Bay. The Mayor opened by sharing his personal faith journey and his vision for a city defined by neighbor-love. He then turned to some of Green Bay's most pressing challenges, with particular focus on the city's youth — calling for intentional investment in teenagers through relationship, love, and consistent support before apathy and disconnection take root. The conversation surfaced a critical concern shared by leaders across traditions: the disintegration of family structure and mental health as root drivers of homelessness in our community.
Pastors from multiple congregations shared the concrete ways their churches are already serving those without stable housing, revealing both the depth of commitment already present and the untapped potential of a more coordinated response.
The morning closed with all 34 leaders forming a circle and praying together over the Mayor — a powerful image of unified intercession across denominational lines. By every measure, this was a landmark gathering. The energy in the room pointed toward something larger, and the group committed to meeting again. What began as a breakfast may well be the foundation of a lasting ecumenical movement for the good of Green Bay.
