Join us for our first ever Virtual Cardboard City!
November 1st to November 14th
Join us for this year’s Cardboard City event, a fundraiser for Habitat for Humanity, The Haven, and Hope House. All 3 agencies are working to help the homeless in our community.
Cardboard City is a homeless experience where individuals, families or groups will spend the night in cardboard boxes, simple tents, or in their own car to experience what many homeless families and individuals go through. A simple meal will be served for dinner and there will be activities, entertainment and presentations throughout the evening.
If you are interested in attending this event please contact Stephanie at sb_flcmanitowoc@sbcglobal.net!
Missed the deadline to sign up to participate? Fear not! You still can! Participants still have the opportunity to participate and help raise money toward homelessness as Hope House, Habitat for Humanity, and The Haven partner together to help our community.
Prizes will be awarded to the team or individual with the most money raised and the best cardboard shelter.
Even if you can’t participate this year, give us a share so we can keep fighting this fight together and bring awareness. You can share — and sign up — by clicking on this Facebook page:

SHEBOYGAN CARES DRIVE-THRU FOOD PANTRY
Beginning the week of Oct. 12, our Sheboygan Cares Drive-Thru Food Pantry will be open ONLY Fridays (no longer Mondays) from 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM. The last open date will be Friday, Oct. 23 and closed after that date. We are very grateful for the community’s incredible support – in many ways – over the past five months to help us offer this service for our neighbors in need. If you or someone you know needs emergency food, please find other available help: In English: ➡️ https://bit.ly/3dk7vNx En Espanol: ➡️ https://bit.ly/3nuTykJ
We care about our community. In response to the health crisis, Sheboygan County Food Bank launched a drive-thru food pantry to distribute fresh food items as well as non-perishable food and personal care items directly to our neighbors.
Sheboygan Cares Drive-Thru Food Pantry is located at Glacier Transit Storage (GTS), Building C, 4910 Frontage Road in Sheboygan. GTS has graciously allowed us to store pallets of boxes in their warehouse and hand out boxes in their parking lot. This new pantry serves families who were previously served at school meal sites and anyone else in need of emergency food (no registration required) and is open Mondays and Fridays, 10 AM – 12 PM. To receive the boxes, clients drive up to the southside of GTS’s warehouse at Building C where volunteers with masks and gloves safely place the boxes in the trunks of clients’ vehicles. The types of fresh products within the the Farmers to Families Food Boxes may vary each week.

MONTEE BALL

|
| Montee Ball from Wisconsin Voices for Recovery will begin the event at 6 PM on 09/25. Montee Ball is a former running back for the Denver Broncos of the NFL. He played college football for the Wisconsin Badgers and was drafted by the Broncos in the 2nd round of the 2013 NFL Draft. His NFL career sputtered out in just three seasons due to issues stemming from his alcoholism and depression. He is hoping to continue helping others avoid his mistakes by speaking candidly about his struggles with alcoholism and mental illness that contributed to the end of his football career. We thank Wisconsin Voices for Recovery for their sponsorship of Montee and for all of the work they do for the recovery community. |

CHESTER MARCOL

Chester Marcol will wrap up the event at 6 PM on 09/26 by sharing his journey and then offering a book signing. By 1972, Chester Marcol became a household name in Wisconsin after being named National Football League rookie of the year with the Green Bay Packers. He led the league in scoring in two of his first three years and was among the top place-kickers in the game. In his autobiography Alive and Kicking Marcol talks about the hurdles he overcame as a Polish immigrant to become an NFL star, provides a no-holds-barred look at his alcohol and substance abuse that cost him his football career and family. A member of the Packers Hall of Fame, Marcol lives in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula where he works as a certified alcohol and drug abuse counselor and fights the daily battle to remain clean and sober.
