BENEFIT TREASURE SALE
The Sharehouse held a Benefit Sale at its warehouse in South Seattle on May

A REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY
In 2007, The Sharehouse worked on three initiatives:
-
To fund repair, conversion to bio-diesel and
signage for our diesel truck
-
To fund delivery service for our recipients
-
To enhance and grow our volunteer program
As a result of these efforts:
-
We have been running our truck with bio-diesel
fuel since October; many thanks to our generous anonymous donor for
making this conversion possible.
-
We have implemented delivery service of furniture to
recipients, freeing up much-needed space in our warehouse.
-
We have added volunteers and are always looking for more.
This is an ongoing initiative;
please see below for information about volunteering at The Sharehouse.
