SHARE is a food program with no membership requirements. They welcome participants from all walks of life, regardless of income. The more food that participants order, the more everyone in the program benefits.
Each month, SHARE offers a basic food package of 5-6 frozen meats, and a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables to participants for $18. The same food package if purchased at a grocery store would cost nearly double. They also offer monthly specials at fabulous prices. (This month, 10 pounds of frozen roasted chicken quarters for $15.) Food stamps are accepted.
We have been asked to spread the word about SHARE. Many people in the park are currently involved with the program. We would like to assist residents who can't drive to receive their packages. Our host site is Bel-Mar Presbyterian Church, 4003 S. Manhattan, 813-837-1760. They are always in need of a few good volunteers. Call and offer your services.

Leave a comment under this post if you would be willing to drive other residents to pick up food, or to deliver groceries to shut-ins. If we had about 10 strong volunteers, dedicated to attend a training, and to serve a few hours each month, we could easily become a host site right here in Regency Cove. The food would be delivered here, making it very easy for our seniors to pick it up every month.
Thank you, Russ Miller, for this information.

SHARE IS A GREAT PROGRAM. IT WOULD BE SO HELPFUL TO MANY RESIDENTS TO HAVE A SITE HERE IN THE PARK. WE WILL VOLUNTEER TO TRY TO HAVE A SITE HERE AND HOPE AT LEAST 8 OTHER RESIDENTS WILL JOIN US. SOME JOBS NEED STRONG HEALTHY PEOPLE TO LOAD THE BAGS AND SOME WHO ARE NOT PHYSICALLY ABLE COULD DO A SIT-DOWN JOB SUCH AS HELPING WITH ORDERS. LET'S DO IT!
