Message from Family Sharing

WE MADE IT - we survived the construction mess! It was a long slog through May, June, July, August and September. Thank you to every one of you who navigated your way to us to drop off donations, shop in the store, volunteer and support Family Sharing. We appreciate your dedication to our mission more than words can express!

Please stop by next week for some fun celebrations of making it to the other side of the project. The roads look great; we're grateful for the work that was done.

Thank you to the Cedarburg Chamber of Commerce for the honor of the Ladies Who Lead award. It was a joy to get to represent our organization and the wonderful team who work so hard every single day!

Seasonal Drivers Needed!

This holiday season, you can help ensure local families have access to the food and resources they need.

Family Sharing is looking for seasonal volunteer drivers to join our team during our busiest time of year. No CDL is required, and we'll provide the insurance, training, and support you need.

If you enjoy being out in the community and have a little extra time to give, we'd love to hear from you.

Interested? Contact Family Sharing to learn more about becoming a seasonal driver and helping make the holidays brighter for our neighbors across Ozaukee County.
