Description
The SHARE Food Network distributes high quality affordable nutritious food as a way to build community and strengthen families. By performing two hours of volunteer service, participants are able to purchase packages of groceries at a reduced cost, empowering families to save an average of 50-60% off local supermarket prices. Registration may be made at one of the 350 churches and organizations that sponsor SHARE throughout the community. In addition, through SHARE people access information on health and nutrition and develop partnerships to prevent hunger in their communities.
