ABOUT SHARE

The SHARE Food Network is a non-profit, community-based organization dedicated to offering healthy, nutritious groceries at a roughly 50 percent discount.  This is accomplished through high-volume purchasing and thousands of volunteer hours, which strengthens the community for all.  SHARE food packages are available to anyone who is interested.

MONTHLY VALUE PACKAGES

Monthly value packages cost just $25 and include $40-$45 worth of basic and healthy groceries; always four to six pounds of frozen proteins and 8 to 12 pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables, sometimes with seasonal grocery or dessert items.

PLACE YOUR SHARE FOOD ORDER and pickup at JGS Catholic Church.

Groceries are expensive!! But a Share Food Value Package is still just $25. Each Value Package includes 4-6 pounds of frozen protein and 8-12 pounds of fresh produce. And remember, Share is open to EVERYONE!

SHARE is a sustainable, social enterprise of Catholic Charities that helps ANYONE save money on healthy food. We are devoted to supporting local community groups where all may participate, serve, and lead with dignity.

SHARE is committed to:

  • Providing wholesome and nutritious food to families and individuals at a reduced cost

  • Promoting volunteer service in our communities

  • Building partnerships with community organizations

WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?

If you eat, you qualify!  SHARE is a great equalizer in a world of great inequality.  Everyone is welcome to purchase without application, qualification, identification, or documentation. Everyone receives the same, fresh, high-quality food.

Because we purchase all the food we offer, the more who join us the STRONGER we become.

SHARE accepts personal, organizational or business checks, EBT/SNAP benefits, and cash.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

There are three ways we can all support the SHARE Food Network.

  • Order a Value Package. It’s a great bargain. And the more we order, the more it helps.

  • Volunteer. Watch the Bulletin for our SHARE Food Distribution Days and join the team in helping to repackage, distribute and deliver healthy food.

  • Donate. Each month our parish covers the cost of 30 Value packages that are given to families that struggle to pay for healthy food. Your $25 donation helps offset the ongoing expense.
