FCC 5000 Pound Food Drive for The Sharing Center

On October 11th and 18th, we will be collecting donations of food and money for The Sharing Center of Kenosha County.

FCC has committed to helping and partnering with the Sharing Center and our first project is this food drive. October is a slow time for donations and the ...the shelves at the center are low: every month the center provides 7,000 pounds of food to area families. Of the 7,000 pounds, 2,000 pounds are provided by government funding, the rest comes from the community. Let's own the month of October and stock the shelves of the center! Donate food stuffs or money (the center can purchase food from Second Harvest at $.19 per pound) so we can reach our goal of providing 5,000 pounds of food for the center.

The Sharing Center is a is a community-supported, faith-based organization that provides needed services and goods to families that reside in western Kenosha County. They provide help and hope to people on their way to independence.

The Sharing Center is home to a food pantry, clothing closet (which includes household items such as dishes, pots, pans, linens and towels) for those in need in western Kenosha County. They also have a referral program for those who need additional assistance.
