While Share’s Fromhold Service Center warehouse is remodeled Monday through Friday, it will be unable to accept donations of clothing and household goods from the public. People can still donate nonperishable food to benefit Share’s low-income and homeless clients during the remodel.
“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,” Diane McWithey, the nonprofit’s executive director, said in a news release. “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.”
Hundreds of volunteers are helping with the remodeling process including employees from Kaiser Permanente, PeaceHealth, Hewlett Packard, Fisher Investments, Invest West Management, the Arby’s Foundation, the nursing school at Clark College, IBEW Local 48 and NW Carpenters Local 146.
