How you help	The SHARE Center serves over 30,000 healthy and delicious meals each year to people in need. We have been able to meet needs through the generosity of the community. Without donations and volunteers, it will be very difficult for us to continue meeting the growing need for food assistance.

About us	The SHARE Center offers a number of services that help people overcome crises by meeting basic needs, removing barriers, and stabilizing income and housing. Meeting basic needs is the foundation for recovery regardless of where people are at in that process. Many homeless and near homeless people have significant barriers that are keeping them trapped in poverty. We also work with them to find appropriate employment opportunities or maximize their benefits if they cannot work.
