Just two hours a month of good deeds could help you reduce your grocery budget by several dollars.
Self-Help Resource Exchange (SHARE), an international program, is helping people help people in the county—with food as a reward.
“There’s a lot ($ people that make SHARE happen,” Rappahannock coordinator Nan McEvoy said.
With 20 working projects in the world, the SHARE group provides one monthly bag of groceries for those who can validate their good deeds for a month.
“And, the thing that is so great about this is that the focus is not on the food but on people helping people," said the Flint Hill woman, adding she first attended a meeting at the county high school on SHARE hoping to cut corners on her own food budget.
SHARE, an organization founded by a Catholic diocese in southern California (though in no way related to or governed by religious groups), is five months old in Rappahannock County with over 40 members and growing.
“It’s mainly a middle class type of thing now,” said the coordinator, adding it has yet to reach many in the community that could benefit from its rewards—extra food.
The rewarded bag of groceries costs the Good Samaritan a mere $13, though it has a value of $25 to $30.
