Mission Statement/Purpose
To provide usable clothing and household goods for the needy in our community and surrounding counties.
Major Accomplishments
The Caring and Sharing Center provides a variety of personal and household items free of charge to over 400 individuals or families every month.
Major Activity
Volunteers work in teams of two for two-hour shifts helping people to find clothing and household goods that meet their needs. Some volunteers also come during hours that the Center is closed to sort donations and put them out for display.
Meeting Frequency
Volunteers are needed 11am-3pm on weekdays, 10am-noon on Saturdays, and 3pm-4pm on Sunday, but individuals sign up for whatever best suits their needs. Scheduling is very flexible and can be weekly, monthly or as available. A few times each year we have large-group volunteer meetings that are optional but attendance is highly encouraged.

One or more two-hour shifts per week or month.
