The Self Help and Resource Exchange (SHARE) Food Network allows individuals to purchase nutritious food bundles each month at a low cost.
The monthly value packages cost just $21 and include $40-$50 worth of basic and healthy groceries, typically made up of 4-5 pounds of frozen protein products (red meat, chicken, fish), 1-3 grocery items (such as beans, dessert, rice or other staples), and 8-9 pounds of fresh produce (fruits and vegetables.) Each package is designed to supplement a family's food budget with savings of up to 50% over grocery retail. Anyone and everyone may buy as many SHARE packages as they like.
Generally, one unit of food assists in feeding a family of four for about one week or a single senior citizen for almost a month. The food is all the same high-quality one could purchase at a grocery store. There are no second-hand items, no damaged or out-dated goods, no dented cans without labels, no day-old bread, and no produce that is almost too ripe.
Many participants in this program appreciate the expanded choices and assistance the program provides them in supplementing their families’ needs. Additionally, there are no applications to complete or qualifications to which participants must adhere.
