Support
your local foodbank. They serve many with very little resources. In my
community our food bank is one of many services SHARE provided our community.
As many know, I was on the Board of Directors of SHARE for six years, and left
last year. I still support their work. Here is a report from SHARE as to what
they did this last year.
Last
year, 1,308 SHARE volunteers gave 45,231 hours of service in our community: that
is like having a medium-sized business with 25 full-time employees doing
nothing but good work in our Tri-Cities community, all year.
We
know you are often asked to contribute your time and money to support a growing
number of worthy causes. There is a great deal of important work that is being
done by charities across BC, Canada and around the world. We would like to talk
about the difference you make when you choose to support SHARE, where real
change happens right here in your home community
SHARE
has been serving our Tri-Cities community since 1972. We help people connect
with each other, to engage with their community and to strengthen their lives
by supporting them in moving forward. We make an important difference in the
lives of local children, families, and seniors. We help people who are hungry,
children reach developmental milestones, youth struggling with mental health
issues, isolated seniors, newcomers and refugees who need settlement support,
families who are in crisis and youth and adults struggling with addiction. We
build strength in our fellow community members across the Tri-Cities community
every day and with your support, we can ensure that this important work will
continue.
Please

please accept our sincere gratitude for investing in the future of our friends,
neighbours and families.
