Freedom House Needs Votes to Win Grant

Freedom House, in Green Bay,is used to asking for donations of money or food, but this time the homeless shelter needs votes.

"We can get the vote out when we need to. I mean, we're the owners, are we the owners of the Mirror Ball from Dancing with the Stars? So the Packer nation can be motivated," said Robyn Davis, president of Freedom House.

Freedom House was nominated for the Chase Community Giving program and is eligible for a grant ranging from $10,000 to $250,000.

All it takes is a click of the mouse at the Chase Community Giving program Facebook page.

Winning this grant money means Freedom House would be able to help more families.

It can serve up to 12 familiesin house, but 72 families are currently on the waiting list

"That includes 76 adults and 154 children. So, there's a lot of need out there that we would really love the opportunity to help more," explained Davis.

One resident at Freedom House knows what it's like to be on that waiting list.

She waited for three months.

"When we got that call from Freedom House saying we could come in, it was just a blessing. We were so happy," said Pauline Silas.
