After much thought and reflection, we have made the difficult decision to close Sheboygan Area Pay It Forward.

This decision comes after months of searching and being unable to secure a permanent space for our center. Without a home base, we could no longer offer the consistency and connection our peers deserve.

For years, this community has stood beside us — donating, volunteering, spreading kindness, and helping ensure that our unhoused and struggling neighbors were cared for. None of what we accomplished would have been possible without your generosity and support.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. You helped create a safe space, meals, resources, and most importantly — hope.

Though this chapter has come to an end, the impact lives on in the lives touched and the friendships formed.

Our work isn’t over. The podcast will continue, sharing real stories and voices that need to be heard. You can find it on the original Pay It Forward Facebook page, my personal page, and on your favorite streaming platforms.

With gratitude,
Scott & Kathleen LaBonte
