Seniors are one of the largest groups we serve
Through programs designed to address the mind, body and soul, we meet the needs of adults of all ages.
seniors who feel lonely and isolated are more likely to report also having poor physical and/or mental health.
The Salvation Army of Greater Green Bay offers a variety of activities that help seniors stay active, independent, and socially connected. When you participate in one of our activities or events you become a part of a community and reap the benefits of fun and fellowship.
How we help seniors
The Salvation Army provides a variety of services and activities to help our older adults (age 50+) of Brown County stay active, independent and socially connected. Enrollment occurs on an annual basis. Once enrolled, seniors can participate in as many or as few activities as they choose on a monthly basis and simply need to register for the activities that they want to be involved in.
Grocery Shopping
Grocery/discount shopping occurs two Mondays each month. The vehicle leaves The Salvation Army Corps Community Center at 8:45am to begin picking up participants. A morning of shopping is followed by lunch at a local restaurant before participants are returned home. The only cost for this activity is the transportation charge, which is $3.00. Lunch is on the participant's expense. Sign up in advance by calling Karrie at 920-593-2362.

Special Outings and Day Trips
Are you adventurous? Then join our Senior Program for one of our many special trips and outings! You can visit a place in Wisconsin you've never been before, go back to a favorite spot, or even go on a "mystery tour" in which the destination is known only to the staff and bus driver! You can also take in a baseball game, a WaterBoard Warrior ski show, or a concert in the park or at the Meyer Theater. Dates, times and costs of these special outings vary, so the best way to get the information is to refer to the monthly newsletter.

Join The Fun!
Register for all Senior Program activities by calling (920) 593-2362. Dates and times may change so please call ahead. Many of the Senior Program activities have a small fee, however, The Salvation Army does not want the cost of any activity to keep a senior from participating. Contact our Senior Services Director to discuss fees if these are a hardship.
