You Share

Do you admittedly have too much "stuff"?? Are you looking for a way to give to those who might need it? If you answered yes to either of these questions, you should check out Youshare.org!

What is Youshare.org?
The idea for youshare.org began when a caring mom simply needed two mattresses for her kids. Recently employed after a period of homelessness, she was trying to furnish her new apartment. Local social service agencies knew there must be extra mattresses out there somewhere — but found it difficult to hunt them down with their other responsibilities weighing on them as well. She eventually found the mattresses on her own, but it wasn’t easy.

Youshare.org was created to serve people in this very situation. It goes one step further than simply meeting immediate needs. Youshare.org helps foster personal relationships that will help families in crisis build a better life.

Youshare.org's values include:
• Relationship building — Relationships are key to moving families from vulnerability to self-sufficiency.
• Compassion — Compassion is defined as a “deep awareness someone else’s suffering coupled with the wish to relieve it.” That is the heart of youshare.org!
• Stewardship — All of us can use our time, talent and financial resources to encourage and serve others

We are now Youshare.org "Administrators" at Sunshine. This means that families experiencing a crisis or need can share their need with us, and we can connect them with a "resource match" through Youshare.org.
