Your generous contributions make a tremendous impact! 

Donations of high-need items such as non-perishable and fresh food, outdoor supplies, personal hygiene items, household items, and seasonal clothing empower our clients to grow and thrive. Many of our clients are challenged to pay their monthly utilities, purchase all the items needed to run a household and to provide enough food for their families.

Details on our donation policy are listed below. Please contact Nikki Hanna at nhanna@sharevancouver.org  or (564) 888-0821 with questions.
