Zak Clayton founded Community Pay it Forward to ensure no one in need is left behind. After a life-changing motorcycle accident in 2015, he experienced firsthand the power of community support but also saw the gaps in assistance for those facing financial hardships. Determined to bridge this divide, he created a program where every purchase helps someone in need.
Through Shop, Click, & Pick, businesses and individuals can support families in crisis, veterans, children battling illness, nonprofits, and small projects, all while growing their own businesses. His passion also extends to Community Dare to Care, providing essential items at no cost, with a goal of becoming a nonprofit by 2024.
A dynamic leader, podcast host, and advocate for community-driven change, Zak believes:
