Project Share

Project Share is a great organization. It is also a useful way to volunteer your time, energy or money. They dedicate themselves to feeding the hungry every day of the week except Wednesday for dinner. Anybody in need can line up at 5PM for a HOT meal. It is always a hot meal and consists of a main dish, a vegetable, milk or juice, rolls and always a dessert! The portions are large and people can line up for seconds again if they would like to.
Volunteers can call to serve and organizations can sponsor a meal. To sponsor, you can provide the main course or donate money to purchase the main course. You and your team/​organization can serve the meal that night. The food always looks good and the cook (Albert) puts such care into each meal preparation. Go and say Hello to Albert!
Many churches, good will groups or charitable organizations do this. I may do it sometime in the future with my company (if I can get any volunteers, that is).
Project Share is in need of personal items for their free clothing bank. It is getting colder and they will need coats, warm clothing, gloves, scarves and blankets. I volunteered in the clothing bank and there are sometimes children that come in. They have a lot of children’s clothes but need backpacks, school items and items kids would enjoy. In fact the backpacks go fast for all age groups, so that the people can carry their items wherever they go. Other items needed include travel size toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, deodorant, soap bars, and especially shampoo/​conditioner. When we stay in luxury hotels, the nice stuff you get would be great. Many of the items are generic and who doesn’t need a little luxury in their lives? There is use for underwear as well. I noticed they also need men’s shoes.
Finally there is a guy that goes in there all of the time asking for dog food for his dog. I took a small bag once. Maybe donate some pet food separated into small baggies so people can feed their pets.
Overall, this is a fine charitable organization that helps the community of SE Albuquerque!
