The Sheboygan County Activity and Nutrition Coalition has been working together this summer with the SCIO Farmers Market and the Sheboygan County Food Bank collecting fresh produce for the Produce for Pantries program.  A total of 2,643 lbs of fresh, local produce was donated during the 2024 market season by the SCIO Farmer's market and distributed to Sheboygan County residents through the Sheboygan County Food Bank.

The Sheboygan County Housing Coalition hosted several events in recognition of Homelessness Awareness Month throughout November. One of these events was A Night Without Shelter, an event to build a deeper understanding of the challenges associated with homelessness. The coalition also collected winter wear and blankets at 3 Sheeps Brewing Company and Uptown Social throughout the month. These donations were given to Sheboygan Area Pay It Forward to be distributed to the unsheltered population in the coming months.

Healthy Sheboygan County has published the 2024-2028 Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP)! The purpose of the CHIP is to improve the health and quality of life in our community. A big thank you to everyone who helped get this work done. Click on the image below to read the CHIP:
