Message from Family Sharing

We’re Egg-static!

Thank you to your incredible generosity, our Egg Drive cracked the goal wide open—over 525 people donated raising the total to over $6100! That’s enough to provide over 1,200 dozen eggs, meeting our pantry clients’ needs for approximately a month and a half. Thank you for making such a powerful impact in our community!

Family Sharing Open House

Thank you Volunteers!

In April, we celebrated our volunteers. Every volunteer brings something special, together they do something extrordinary! Thank you for all you do!


As April closes, we want to take a moment to shine a light on our incredible volunteers. While National Volunteer Month gives us a special reason to say thank you, our gratitude extends far beyond just one month—we are thankful for you every single day. We appreciate you all year long.


From the helping hands in the pantry, to those stocking shelves in both the pantry and the store…

To our dedicated sorters, drivers, pricers, and organizers…

To the ones delivering with care, and the friendly faces at the register…

To every single one of you who pitches in with your time, talents, and hearts—


Your commitment, compassion, and energy keep us going. You are the heart and soul of what we do, and the impact you make in our community is truly immeasurable.

Family Sharing has over 150 volunteers, many businesses and organizations that come in and lend hands when needed and so many who care and want to help in our community.
