SHARE Food Program The SHARE Food Program provides low-cost food for anyone who wants to save money on their grocery bills.  There are no income eligibility guidelines.  SHARE is made possible by support from church organizations, local businesses, civic clubs, human service agencies and private donors and by purchasing food in bulk and using volunteers to distribute the food.

A monthly food order by participants is about $20 (plus WV tax) in cash, money order, or food stamps plus two hours of community service.  Community service is any unpaid volunteer activity, which benefits the community or an individual.  Many SHARE participants do this by helping box food on pickup day.  There is no limit on the number of food packages a participant may purchase.  Monthly food packages include both fresh and frozen food.  Orders are placed each month and picked up about twelve days later based upon a menu and time schedule by each distribution center.

The order deadline is September 13 by 10 a.m. and pick up is September 25, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

These are the distribution centers:
