Join our grass-roots program and Sponsor-A-Shelf! It's a new way to help fill the pantry shelves at Community Sharing.
We ask that businesses, organizations, and families make a commitment to fund the purchase of needed item(s) for one, three or twelve months. For your reference there is a list of items that are most popular yet costly to fill our shelves.
Community Sharing will stock the shelf. As a token of our thanks we can post a note about your generosity on our Facebook page, which has over 2700 followers.
