SHARE Fund, Inc.

The SHARE Fund is a 501c3 non-profit, volunteer, charitable outreach program which provides various types of material and financial support to families and individuals in need during emergencies or times of severe hardship.

The primary goal of the SHARE Fund Program is to provide the needed resources of food, clothing and affordable housing to the less fortunate of our community. We reach out to our brothers and sisters in need, to help them maintain dignity during difficult times, provide lifestyle guidance and direct them to other agencies, when eligible, thus maximizing aid.

We operate Gerry's Emergency Food Pantry, located at the Rochester Community Center, to address hunger issues in our community. Also located in the Community Center, the SHARE Fund offers the Community Clothing Shop which provides free clothing and household goods to the needy and sells merchandise at low prices to the general public to generate funds for our assistance programs. For those in need of housing and utility assistance, our Emergency Financial Services provides help with rent, security deposits, electric bills, and heating costs. Our Medical Assistance services provide financial help with emergency medical and dental needs and our Community Diaper Bank provides free diapers to families in need.
