Our Mission
Share of McLean is an all-volunteer, community-based nonprofit that teams with individual donors and partner organizations to assist our neighbors who face food insecurity, economic hardships or related challenges.
How We Operate
​
-
Share was organized in 1969 to help meet the emergency needs of our neighbors in McLean and nearby areas of Northern Virginia.​
​​
-
Because we have no paid staff, no office, and no paid fundraisers, nearly all donations directly benefit our neighbors in need.
-
It takes more than 1,000 volunteer hours per month to run our programs, so we are always recruiting new volunteers.
​
-
Our food and clothing room is housed is space donated by the McLean Baptist Church. ​​
