Christmas is six weeks away and the
holiday excitement is just beginning.
For the fortunate, it is time to start
planning and buying. For the less fortunate, it is a much more difficult time. SHARE
Outreach realized 30 years ago that Christmas is
the hardest time for those in need. 2010 is no different;
the need and the numbers are just greater than they
were then.
SHARE reached out and developed the Holiday Program in 1980. It remains an ideal way for those who are
fortunate to help local families in need enjoy a happy
holiday. Through the adoption program, an individu-
al or a group can adopt a family or a single
adult, purchase gifts and bring them to
SHARE, who will then distribute them.
The process is easy. Adopters are given a list of suggested gifts
for families. Single adults receive gift
cards. For those who prefer not to shop,
monetary gifts to SHARE are always
welcome. Adopters bring their gifts to the
SHARE office at 1 Columbus Avenue in Milford, where they are distributed.
SHARE’s motto is “people helping people.”
The benefits of the Holiday Program are tangible and
the rewards to both givers and receivers are great. Help
make Christmas special for all the families in our local
community. Visit www.sharenh.org, email holiday@
sharenh.org or call 673-9898 for more details.
