The Green Bay Metro Fire Department announced Wednesday afternoon the formation of the Green Bay Metro Fire Foundation.
The foundation is a non-profit organization that helps to improve public safety and partnerships within the community.
President and CEO of H. J. Martin and Sons Incorp. Ed Martin presented a check for $10,000 as an initial foundation deposit.
“Every cause has to have a start, and without a start, nothing could come behind it,” Edward said. According to a news release, the foundation “is supported by the Greater Green Bay Community Foundation and invests in innovative community-based programs, technology, strategies, training, facilities, and equipment designed to help the Green Bay Metro Fire Department focus on safety and the needs of the community.”
