Howe Community Resource Center

Howe Community Resource Center HCRC ensures that children and families are safe, healthy and ready for success! In 2000, 526 S.

What is now known as Howe Community Resource Center started out as a small parent resource room at Howe School. Realizing that the space at Howe School was limited and having bigger visions, stakeholders began looking for a permanent building. Monroe Ave (a former AAA) was purchased and remodeled through the hard work and generosity of many in the community. The name was changed in 2013 to Howe Community Resource Center, recognizing the role the center plays as a resource and our efforts in building community. By 2004, momentum had grown and many of the programs and services offered at the resource center were thriving. Oral Health Partnership was created and, in 2006, a state of the art, 3-chair dental clinic was added to provide full service dental care to underinsured or uninsured children. In 2009, we became a gateway agency for The Community Partnership for Children, thus beginning our parenting program

We know we have something very special and unique. As we look to the future, we look to expand the number of resource center created programs, as well as maintain partnership programs. The resource center is one of the three gateway agencies in our community that provide services to ensure children, prenatal to 5 years old, are safe, healthy, and ready for school. New programs and exciting new directions have called for new staff members. We have come a long way from that small, one room resource center and we are excited about where we will go next! We do not have service restrictions based on age or income, and we serve all of Brown County, so take a look at what we offer and join in the fun!

On Saturday, September 12, our team participated in the annual Be The Light Walk in Green Bay as the "Howe4Hope" team.

As we continue learning how to walk alongside the children and families we serve, we also want to be part of the larger conversations happening in our community. The Be The Light Walk brings people together to raise awareness around su***de prevention while supporting local prevention, intervention and outreach efforts through the Brown County Coalition for Su***de Prevention.

Following the walk, our team participated in a two-hour QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) training. The training gave our team a deeper understanding of the realities surrounding su***de across our country, state and county, while equipping us with tools to recognize warning signs and better support the individuals and families we work alongside.

More than ever, this experience reminded us of the importance of mental health support in our community, including supporting parents as they navigate conversations around big feelings, difficult situations and the challenges their children may face as they grow.

A special thank you to Trina Myers, Executive Director of The Gathering Place, for leading our QPR training and sharing her knowledge and experience with our team. We are grateful for the opportunity to continue learning and growing so we can better support the families who count on us.

Showing up for our community means continuing to learn, listen and find ways to better support the families who count on us.

How do we make sure the voices of the families we serve are being heard through our programming?

At Howe Community Resource Center, we have a Parent Advisory Council made up of participating HCRC families. The PAC gives parents a voice in helping us evaluate our programming, identify areas for improvement, and shape new ideas.

Here’s what that looks like:
• The Parent Advisory Council can help lead the creation of new programming and ideas.
• Current families help us evaluate our programs and identify ways we can improve.
• Parents have an opportunity to advocate not only for their own families, but for the families in our community.

Want to follow along with what the PAC is working on? You can view upcoming events and follow the progress of our programming through the event pages on our website: https://howecommunityresourcecenter.org/events/

Meet Michalla, a mother of three and current HCRC family who serves on our Parent Advisory Council. We asked her to share her why, what she enjoys, and what she hopes the group can accomplish.

Why I am on Parent Advisory:
“I am on the Parent Advisory to advocate for the program as a current family participant.”

What I enjoy about Parent Advisory:
“I get to advocate not only for myself and my family, but for other families as well, all while getting to watch the growth of Howe Community Resource Center.”

What I hope the group can do:
“I hope Parent Advisory will be able to advocate for families, which in turn will increase parent participation in events and activities.”

Parent voices matter, and we’re grateful to have families like Michalla helping us make sure those voices are part of the conversation.

You know Howe Community Resource Center, but do you know the team behind it? 👀

There’s a lot that goes into the work we do at HCRC, but at the heart of it are the people who show up every day to support children, families, and our community.

So, we thought we’d have a little fun and let you get to know the team in a different way! From our go-to caffeine choices to what we consider “on time,” these are the little preferences and opinions that make each of us... well, us. 😂

Take a look through the post and see how our team members compare. You might find yourself completely agreeing with someone, wondering how they could possibly feel that way, or realizing you have a lot more in common than you thought!

So, who are you most like? And more importantly... what do YOU consider “on time”? 👀

We’re grateful to the Green Bay Packers Foundation for a $3,000 grant supporting Howe Community Resource Center’s Women’s Support Group. 💚

This funding will help our team expand opportunities for women caregivers to connect, build supportive relationships, learn practical ways to manage stress, and prioritize their own well-being.

We’re looking forward to growing this work and sharing more with women and families across Brown County in the year ahead.

Thank you, Green Bay Packers Foundation, for investing in the well-being of women, families, and our community! Packers Outreach

💜 September is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month.

Sometimes the most important thing we can offer someone is connection.

Checking in. Listening without judgment. Making space for an honest answer. Reminding someone that they matter. Helping them connect with support when they need it.

You don't need to be a mental health professional or have the perfect words to make a difference. A simple, genuine “How are you really doing?” can open a door.

This month, we encourage our community to keep talking, keep checking in, and keep reminding one another that asking for help is okay.

If you or someone you know is struggling or experiencing a mental health crisis, call or text 988 to connect with the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline. Support is available 24/7.

📚💙 We had such a great time welcoming GB Howe Elementary Community School families last night at their Back to School Night!

We are so grateful to be part of the Howe Elementary community and look forward to another year of supporting students and families. We can’t wait to see what this school year brings! 🐾💙
