Dear Student Legal Clinic,
I had seen the posters for the SHARE program. How do I qualify for this program? I don’t have any kids, I work part-time and am in the Human Services program.
Signed,
Gary
Dear Gary,
SHARE is a nonprofit food buying club that offers good, nutritious products at reduced cost through a volunteer-run, community-based distribution system. Anyone can be a member of SHARE. There are no membership fees or eligibility requirements. SHARE allows its members to save up to 30-50% on frozen meats, fresh produce and other grocery items.
SHARE allows its members to celebrate holidays very inexpensively. How do you order? Order online at www.sharewi.org, call them toll-free at 800-548-2124 or contact your local volunteer team. How and when do you pay? Pay when you submit your order.
Depending on how you order, SHARE accepts cash, credit/debit and Quest/Link cards. Where and when can you pick up your food? At a SHARE host site in your area, usually on a Saturday morning. Is volunteer time required? SHARE offers volunteer opportunities, but there are no volunteer requirements in order to buy food through SHARE.
The Mobile Market goes to eight community centers and churches on the north side, five centers on the south side. To find out more information on the Mobile Market you may contact them at 800-548-2124, www.sharemobilemarket.org or facebook.com/SHAREWisconsin.
