This month we were so happy to send each one of our host sites an Easter Dinner Package for distribution to a family in need in their area. We were able to do this because of the generosity of donors to the SHARE Cares Food Fund. We started this fund as one way to commemorate SHARE’s 25th anniversary. So far, the fund is making a difference to dozens if not hundreds of families each month.
This year you may have noticed that every month we have a 25th Anniversary Special on our order form. For April, every order for the Jumbo All-Beef Hot Dogs will contribute to the SHARE Cares Food Fund. It’s an easy way to give—click here for the latest order form.
If you order online, you may have also noticed a new way to contribute. Now you can easily give by rounding up your order to the nearest dollar or by specifying an amount. What I like about this is that it embodies the idea of sharing. People can give any amount—rounding up a few cents soon becomes a few dollars and then a few hundred. Check this out the next time you order online.
Another new way to contribute is through Facebook Causes. We launched a Cause called Food For Families In Need on February 27th and it is steadily building a group of members and contributors. This is also a great way to tell friends about SHARE. You can become a fan of SHARE on Facebook by clicking here.
However you do it, contributing to the SHARE Cares Food Fund is another way for people to reach out to one another. It’s built on 25 years of SHARE…“Bringing Us Together For Food and Community.”
May you enjoy a blessed Easter and the warmth of spring sunshine.
