South Brevard Sharing Center

Church Support information Coming Soon!

The South Brevard Sharing Center has created a fundraising account with Magazine Fundraising. You can save a bundle on subscriptions to magazines you already enjoy, and 40% of your purchase goes directly to us here at the South Brevard Sharing Center. You can visit the following URL, or go to our Donations page and follow the link from there: http://www.magfundraising.com/GroupPage.aspx?gredirection=1&e=1218975

Also, we are now registered with MissionFish and will shortly be offering some of the more rare and unusual items we receive as donations online at eBay.com. In addition, if you sell on eBay you can choose to use the eBay Giving Works program to specify that a portion of the money you receive go to us here through that program.

Summer is traditionally a hard time for us at the South Brevard Sharing Center. Children of disadvantaged families are home from school, which rasies the demand for food and other items. At the same time, summer has traditionally been a lean time for the donations which allow us to continue to serve people in need. This year, a number of local organizations have stepped up to help us, resulting in our ability to serve record numbers of people. Without their generous support we would face an uphill battle to reach our goals.

A special thank you goes out to the following organizations and groups who have made generous donations of funds, food and time to help us continue our mission to help local families in need.

Betty Katsopoulos and all the ladies of Saint Sophia Philoptochos at St. Katherine Greek Orthodox Church held a food drive for us recently that resulted in the collection of over 1200 pounds of food. During a time of high demand for food from needy families, and at a lean time of year for us their hard work and generosity is greatly appreciated.

The Lockheed-Martin Employee Foundation recently made a very generous donation of funds to help us continue our mission. Their ongoing support means so much to the people who depend on our services. Thanks to all the Lockheed employees for their kindness and generosity.

Kim Register, student ministry leader at Trinity Presbyterian Church in Indian Harbour Beach recently helped us coordinate a food drive and brought a wonderful group of vacation bible school students and their parents to help shelve and organize the substantial amount of food they collected. It was a great pleasure to see so many young people take an interest in helping others. Our heartfelt thanks goes out to all the men, women and children who participated.

We want to recognize the members of Suntree United Methodist Church youth ministry who volunteered their time for us helping clean and landscape our Melbourne facility. They also helped out in our pantry, bagging food orders for local families. Their efforts helped us to keep our facility clean and attractive and continue to serve our clients.
