SHARE JOY

SHARE Joy this holiday season

SHARE Joy is SHARE Family & Community Services’ holiday program that provides gifts for families with children and holiday food hampers for families and individuals. The holiday season inevitably brings additional financial pressure for many families. SHARE’s holiday programs will help brighten the lives of 2,000 families in the Tri-Cities, ensuring every child is well-fed and has something to treasure. SHARE is on a mission to provide 1,800 kids with toys and unwrapped gifts, with special requests for ages 6 to 17. SHARE’s Food Bank serves over 5,000 individuals each month including seniors, isolated individuals, and babies.
