Donor FAQs
How can I best help Project SHARE?
A monetary gift is one of the best ways to help Project SHARE. Project SHARE purchases emergency food in bulk through monetary donations to obtain the best price per unit. All donations $20 and over will receive a charitable gift receipt.
Donations of food and essential household items (hygiene products, toiletries, etc) make a great impact as well. Our food room distributes over 1,250,000 lbs of food and essential household items each year.
In order to serve our community, Project SHARE relies on Food drives, Project SHARE events, 3rd party events, barrels at community partners, support from local grocery stores, bakeries, farmers, restaurants and donations from the community.
Do you accept donations of gently used clothing or household items?
Project SHARE does not have the physical space to accept these items, so we have partnered with St. Andrew’s United Church Shoulder to Shoulder Program and Goodwill Industries Niagara.
Can I donate stocks/shares to raise funds?
Yes! Please reach out to our Fundraising Coordinator at 905-357-5121 ext 248 or fundraising@projectshare.ca
How are you funded?
Project SHARE is a charitable organization established in 1989 (#107861338RR0001). While funding is provided by The City of Niagara Falls and The Region Municipality of Niagara, these dollars do not cover all of the costs of operating the building, programs, and emergency resources. Fundraising of $1,300,000 annually must be raised within the community. For a more detailed breakdown view our Impact Reports.
