Many families in Sheboygan County are still struggling to put food on the table in 2025. We’ve seen an increase in need for support in 2025 and we’re responding by getting more food out into the community. On average, we’re tracking over 5,700 families visits each month at our Sheboygan Cares Food Pantry and partner organizations.
The Holiday Lights Hunger Run/Walk is Sheboygan County Food Bank's primary, annual fundraiser event that takes place at Making Spirits Bright before it's open to the public for the season. How does it come together? It takes a community of dedicated and generous organizations, businesses, and individuals.
- Making Spirits Bright is the Host Sponsor and works throughout the day of the event to make sure lights and music are operating smoothly.
- Community members work with Sheboygan County Food Bank's staff to organize the logistics as a committee throughout the year.
- Local businesses and organizations provide in-kind donations and sponsorships.
- Over 150 volunteers bundle up to help out with packet pickup, gear check, shuttle bus stops, water stations, the course, and clean up.
Sponsorships, registration fees, VIP parking passes, shirts and other gear, and donations for this event directly support Sheboygan County Food Bank's work to support our neighbors in need. In the first seven years of this event, over $430,000 has been raised!
