Schneider, a leading provider of transportation and logistics solutions headquartered in Green Bay, has announced a generous donation of $100,000 to Veterans 1st of Northeast Wisconsin.

About Schneider

You’ve probably seen their trucks, but Schneider is so much more than that. Founded in Green Bay in 1935, Schneider offers truckload, intermodal and logistics services, has more than 19,000 associates across North America, and generates more than $5 billion in annual revenues.  Despite their size, Schneider is still a hometown team at heart.  That’s why they established the Schneider Foundation in 1982 – to help strengthen the communities where its associates live, work and travel. The Foundation focuses on charitable giving in four key areas: health and human services, children, education, and arts and culture.  It supports a variety of non-profit initiatives, including disaster relief, capital campaigns, veterans causes, and community needs, demonstrating Schneider's dedication to being a positive force for change.

The Veterans Village Project

Veterans 1st of Northeast Wisconsin is a non-profit organization committed to providing safe, supportive housing for veterans. The Veterans Village project aims to create a community of tiny homes, offering affordable housing and wraparound services to help veterans achieve self-sufficiency. The village will include 21 homes and a community center, which will serve as a hub for various support services and activities.

Impact of Schneider's Donation

Schneider’s $100,000 donation will be specifically used for the construction of the community center within the Veterans Village. This center will feature an office, kitchen, and meeting area, providing a space for veterans to access essential services, participate in group activities, and receive support. In recognition of their generous contribution, the community center lobby will be named in honor of Schneider.

A Commitment to Veterans

Schneider has a long history of supporting veterans – in fact, 19% of Schneider associates report having military experience. The company actively recruits veterans and offers various programs to help them transition to civilian careers. This donation to Veterans 1st is a testament to Schneider's ongoing commitment to honoring and supporting those who have served our country.

Conclusion

The partnership between Schneider and Veterans 1st of Northeast Wisconsin exemplifies the power of community and corporate collaboration. With Schneider's generous donation, the Veterans Village project will be able to provide much-needed resources and support to veterans, helping them build a brighter future.
