ABOUT US
What is Share?
​
Share, Inc. is an independent, 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to helping low and moderate income neighbors alleviate food, clothing, and shelter insecurities in the McLean, Great Falls, and the Pimmit section of Falls Church. ​
​
The Neighbors We Serve
​
Share supports 1,400 households, including 3,500 family members. Our recipients consist of economically distressed families and individuals, seniors living on limited pensions, impoverished immigrants, and the unhoused. Clients are referred to us by county social workers, faith communities, and school counselors.
How We Operate
​​​​
Share has served our community since 1969. Share relies entirely on volunteers from our community. 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 generously donated by the McLean Baptist Church. ​​​​​​​
