Share the Season is a community program that assists people during a time of hardship in their lives. The program offers hope and help to working families who have experienced difficult circumstances resulting in financial strain and emotional stress. Often an illness, car accident, layoff or other unexpected situation can put a family into crisis. Share the Season provides financial assistance to alleviate some of the pressure during this challenging time.
Since 2000, generous donors have given over $4.5 million to the program, which has allowed Share the Season to assist over 4,200 families. To mark the program’s 25th year, this year’s campaign goal is to raise $125,000. Donors can contribute by going to the website at www.sharetheseason.net or by scanning the QR code above.
Candice’s story:
Recovery delays led to financial setback
Candice, a nurse, underwent knee surgery and soon after developed blood clots that left her in a wheelchair for several weeks. Because she could not work during that time, she was placed on unpaid FMLA and began falling behind on her mortgage. Without another source of income, she turned to Share the Season for help. The program assisted Candice with a mortgage payment, helping her stay in her home while she continued recovering and planning her return to work.
