Operation Share

This program is geared as a stop gap emergency food provision for families and individuals who have run out of funds. We ask that food box recipients to be a part of our program and volunteer an hour for free services at Project Share and provide documentation for all household members and the head of household takes home enough prepareable food for a week. This provides the feeling of achievement and self-worth.

Project Share Delivers

Project Share delivers emergency food boxes to medically home-bound persons with a medical referral from Doctor stating your medical Limitations to being homebound. Within 48 hours a food box will be delivered.

Project Share has a new program

Take a Book Home and Read to Your Child Used and new children books can be donated for this project.
