SHARE Food Program at MUMC

116 Stafford Avenue
609-597-7666 ext 3

SHARE (Self-Help and Resource Exchange) is a program where people can get a break on their grocery bill by purchasing food at discounted prices in exchange for volunteer time. For each package of food purchased, we simply ask for two (2) hours of some type of "good deed" time, at SHARE, in your community, or even in your own neighborhood. Food packages (worth up to $45) offer meats, fresh fruits and vegetables and grocery items. SHARE buyers purchase the food from growers, brokers and packaging plants. Food is not donated, government surplus, or salvage. SHARE is Unique: SHARE is for everyone. "If you eat, you qualify." Everyone in the community can participate. Because it is for everyone, it can help break down barriers that divide people - barriers like race, religion, social and economic classes, gender and age. When we break down barriers, we can begin to see each other as real people, and begin to build community and neighborhoods.
