Nancy Armbrust Impact Award

Schreiber Foods created the Nancy Armbrust Impact Award to honor Nancy Armbrust, a retired Schreiber Foods executive, community advocate, and leader. The award will be given annually to recognize a woman who, in the same spirit of Nancy, has had an indelible impact on our community.

The award, given in partnership with Schreiber Foods and the Greater Green Bay Community Foundation, includes a grant of $5,000 to be given to the recipient’s nonprofit organization of choice that supports women and girls through the Women’s Fund biannual grant cycle.
