Project Share

Project Share's goal is to work in concert with our school personnel who have identified students who require basic-need items.

pshareSCA Project Share
More than four years ago, a teacher was looking for a donation of a used bicycle for a middle school student. When asked why a bike was needed in January, it became clear that the family needed much more than a bicycle - donations of gift cards, clothing and food followed. The SCA Project Share Committee was formed to help economically-challenged students in our schools with basic need items.

To assist with this important committee and to learn of specific needs, contact Project Share for more information.

RECENT HIGHLIGHTS:

Raindew Family Centers and Pharmacy Donate School Supplies
In late August Project Share received a very special surprise from Raindew Family Centers and Pharmacy! 
Project Share has worked with Raindew over the last several years to purchase back-to-school supplies for children in need.   Raindew has been extremely generous each year by providing a significant discount on the purchase.  This year however, Raindew exceeded expectations and delighted many by donating 100% of the school supplies ordered by Project Share.   In addition, Raindew individually packaged the school supplies by grade level and school making the delivery of the supplies seamless.
