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 can provide financial assistance to alleviate some of the pressure during this challenging time.
Since 2000, generous donors have given a total of more than $4.5 million to the program, allowing 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

Here’s the story of one family helped by Share the Season:
Vickie’s Story: A Car Accident Nearly Cost Her Home
Vickie is a single mother of three who lost her job after a serious car accident required her to attend frequent doctor visits and physical therapy appointments. With no income, she quickly fell behind on her mortgage and feared losing the home she had worked hard to provide for her children. Vickie applied to Share the Season and was awarded assistance with a mortgage payment. This support gave her time to focus on healing while also protecting her family’s housing during a period of extreme vulnerability.
