We Are HOPE, Inc. has launched a 2026 fundraising campaign with a goal of raising $50,000 to help sustain programs and services offered through The EmployAbility HUB in Sturgeon Bay.
The nonprofit, which has provided employment services in Door, Brown and Kewaunee counties since 1978, assists job seekers with career exploration, workforce training, employment preparation, technology access and mentorship services. The organization also partners with employers and community agencies to connect residents with job opportunities and support services.
Executive Director Kim Carley said the campaign comes as grant funding has declined.
“Traditionally, we do not have an annual campaign,” Carley said. “Honestly, our grant funding has been decreasing and we need to fill that gap.”
“We find ourselves in a place that we need $50,000,” she said.
Several events throughout the year will support the fundraising effort, including the fourth annual Hen House ATV Poker Run on May 23, Atomic Bingo at The Hen House on June 9 and the third annual Grub at the HUB event on Sept. 29.
The popular Grub at the HUB fundraiser is already gaining momentum, Carley said, “Every year we make more, you can already reserve your portions.”
The organization also continues to host Tech Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., offering community members assistance with computer skills, internet access, job searches and technology-related support through The EmployAbility HUB.
