“NEEDING AND SHARING TREASURES”

We all treasure our time, goods, and monetary blessings; and rightfully so. However, have you thought of sharing some of those treasurers with the less fortunate? Perhaps you hesitate because of uncertainty as to what needy cause to support. If so, I encourage you to consider Wear and Share.

Wear and Share is a non-profit 501©(3) organization dedicated to providing funding and assistance to a number of local charities.  It is owned and operated by five (5) local churches; FFB Baptist, FFB Faith Lutheran, FFB United Methodist, Kirk of the Hills Presbyterian, and St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church. Operations are directed by two board members from each respective church.

Following is the 2018 annual report of donations by Wear and Share and named benefactors of said donations derived from retail sales, goods and monetary donations. Diligence of dedicated volunteers and two employees of Wear and Share once again answered the call to provide vital needs for our neighbors.
