Veterans 1st of Northeast Wisconsin (NEW) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing a supportive community for veterans in need of affordable housing, while offering resources to help them achieve greater self-sufficiency and improve their quality of life.
In Brown County, there is a shortage of affordable housing for veterans. To address this, County Materials has partnered with Veterans 1st of NEW to build 21 homes within the veterans’ village, along with a community center featuring an office, kitchen, and meeting area for group gatherings and training.
County Materials, through the Sonnentag American Foundation, supports dozens of local organizations and causes in four service areas, including Hunger and Homelessness Support, Service Member and Veteran Support, Sexual Abuse and Domestic Assault Services, and Mentoring and Skills Building.
