SHARE originated in San Diego, Calif., in 1983 with 7,000 participants. Since then the program has expanded to more than 25 U.S. cities and to Mexico and Guatemala.
As of July 1, 1994, SHARE Mid-Atlantic, formerly SHARE Hampton Roads, became a non-profit program of the Food Bank of Southeast Virginia. The Food Bank will continue to provide emergency food assistance while SHARE will continue to be an economical, long term food source for those able to be more self-reliant.
SHARE Mid-Atlantic, headquartered in Norfolk, will serve not only Hampton Roads, but also an expanded area in Virginia, Maryland, and North Carolina.
In order to participate in SHARE, you must register in advance at a local SHARE site once a month to order food units. At registration, generally in the beginning of the month, participants pay $13.59 in cash or $13 in food stamps and pick up a community service voucher to be completed by the food distribution day.
For more information on local SHARE sites, registration dates, or other questions, call 627-6599 or 1-800-253-7842. MEMO: [For a related story, see page 10 of The Sun for this date.]
