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. Interested in learning more? Contact us at 920-659-5159 or email us at dogooddoorcounty@gmail.com.
Help us become the organization that gives a voice to aging in Door County and continue our important work in the community.
