Project Share's concept was developed in the early 1980s by a restaurant owner who discovered a homeless person searching through the dumpsters behind the restaurant.
This man began serving meals to homeless people once a week. Gloria Blood founded Project Share, Inc. in 1984 and made it into the formal non-profit meal site it is today.
In 1997 Project Share moved its services to its current location on Yale Blvd. Now Project Share fills over 64,000 stomachs per year.
In October, 2006 Project Share raised money and purchased the building at 1515 Yale.
