SHARE 2020 Giving Tuesday
Tax deductible
2020 has been a year unlike any other. Despite all that has happened, we hope you have found much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. Please express your thankfulness by donating to SHARE (Seattle Housing and Resource Effort).
Like all of us, SHARE has experienced stress and uncertainty during this trying year. Maintaining adequate hygiene and social distance is especially difficult for homeless people. SHARE serves 650 people in King County and needs your help to continue to scale their operations to meet the increasing homeless need in our area.
During the pandemic, all eight SHARE indoor shelters transitioned from overnight-only to 24/7 operations, giving participants the opportunity to stay in place and safe. Strong sanitation and safety procedures were put in place, and they have been working closely with the Seattle/King County Public Health Department. Participants have found this transition beneficial not just for physical health, but also for general well-being. Having a place to be during the shutdown has helped them gain greater agency over their lives. They are working to keep the shelters going 24 hours next year, too!
