Always Paying It Forward S3E36
Zak Clayton, founder of Clayton Consulting & Event Planning LLC (CCEP), is dedicated to community and compassion. His journey began on June 5th, 2015, when a motorcycle accident revealed gaps in financial assistance during recovery. This inspired Zak to create Community Pay it Forward, a program designed to help individuals in need and support local businesses. Community Pay it Forward supports families in crisis, children battling illness, veterans, local nonprofits, and community projects. Through a simple Shop, Click, and Pick process, every purchase makes a difference. Zak also established Community Dare to Care Outreach & Events, providing essential resources like clothing, furniture, and school supplies, and organizing community events. Key to the program's success are partnerships with Community Partners, Mission Partners, Verified Giving Partners, and Sponsor Partners. Zak also hosts podcasts focused on success and historical lessons, which he shares with his sons, Jeffry and Justice. Zak and his wife Adrienne collect donations and give items to neighbors in need through Community Dare to Care, aiming to make it a 501c3 nonprofit by the end of 2024. Embracing the ethos of “Come Together,” Zak believes in the power of collective action to create lasting change and stronger communities. In his words, “If you are not helping someone, you are hurting everyone. No one needs to go it alone when we all Come Together!” Connect with Zak: https://www.communitypayitforward.us/ / communitypif / communitypif / zak-clayton-lion-869779106 Connect with the host: InvisibleCondition@e360tv.com
