Share Fromhold Service Center Warehouse Remodel Jan. 21 to Jan. 25 to Affect Donation Acceptance from Public; Hundreds of Local Volunteers Assisting in Remodel Efforts - 01/17/19

Vancouver, WA The Share Fromhold Service Center warehouse will undergo remodeling Jan. 21 to Jan. 25 and during that time will not be able to accept donations of clothing and household items from the public. Donations of non-perishable food items will still be welcomed and accepted during the remodel dates.

“Thanks to the generosity of our community, the warehouse at our Service Center accepts and processes tens of thousands of pounds of non-perishable food items each year, as well as thousands of donations of physical goods, from bed sheets to coffee makers to toys to clothes and more, all of which are given to our clients in our shelters, housing programs and through our hunger response programs,” said Diane McWithey, executive director. “The new shelving units being installed will maximize space and allow staff and volunteers to more easily accept, sort and distribute donations to our clients.”

Share is grateful to hundreds of volunteers who are helping in this remodeling process including: 3 volunteers from IBEW Local 48 and 1 from Carpenters Local 146, 15 volunteers from the Arby’s Foundation, 15 volunteers from Invest West Management, 100 volunteers from Kaiser Permanente, 50 volunteers from Hewlett Packard, 25 volunteers from Fisher Investments, 30 volunteers from PeaceHealth, and 10 volunteers from the nursing school at Clark College.
