Do Good Door County has been developed to assure that all residents of Door County can age in the way they want, in the place they want, and be a part of the community that they love.
It is our vision to empower the connections in the community to support a welcoming, safe and accessible culture, enabling people to fully engage living in Door County. We are developing and/or implementing programs and initiatives that would make it better for Door residents by:
- Identifying mutual concerns and endeavors across the county in line with our Vision.
- Making connections among residents, businesses and government that create a supportive community for living well at any age.
- Collaborating with organizations, institutions and civic leaders to ensure that we plan and take action to enhance the aging experience in Door County.
We initially created a mission and vision based off the They is Us effort, a valuable initiative done in 2015 that offered a general sense about Door County residents’ wants and needs as they age.
In the Fall of 2022, we completed a survey in collaboration with St. Norbert College Strategic Research Institute followed by community forums to get a more complete, deeper picture of Door County residents’ expectations and desires as they grow old. This is the launching point for all efforts in 2023. Take a look at the full report.
