What is SHARE?
SHARE stands for Self-Help And Resource Exchange. Essentially, SHARE is a national network of nonprofit organizations dedicated to providing quality monthly food packages at a reduced cost, promoting volunteer service in our communities and building partnerships with community organizations.
SHARE is a community building organization that offers a nutritious food package worth approximately $40 dollars for only $19 dollars and two hours of community service, also known as volunteering! SHARE is not a government program, but is funded by grants, donations, and the price of the food package.
Who Can Participate? SHARE is unique because it includes everyone. There are no qualifications to participate in SHARE. Most people become involved with SHARE to save money and because they enjoy helping others.
What Is In the Food Package? A typical month includes 6-8 lbs. of meat, fresh fruits and vegetables, and staple items rice, pasta, potatoes, etc. The package is designed to supplement a family’s food budget with savings of 50 percent over local or more than grocery store prices.
