About Share – Care & Fare
In today’s times, we know that around the corner, we may be faced with challenges that take us completely away from life as we know it.
It may come from an illness, a loss, redundancy, or from the economic situation we are currently facing, leaving many unable to afford the basics – food, shelter, connection.
This project is about looking at how, in a small way, we can provide a little that can make a difference in someone’s life, when it matters.
This project is about collecting and contributing food fare (non perishable canned, jars, packet, long lasting such as pasta, sauces, tuna, tea, long life milk) or personal care items (tooth paste, tissues, sanitary) that can be passed on to those in need of such items.
We use these items as a currency of exchange for any free community event we bring, such as Walk and Talk, Knit a Care Square’s ‘Darn and Yarn’.
If you are in a position to do so, you may choose to contribute.
It could be something you collect and contribute to in your own work place, clubs, school, home or events.
