About The SharehousePurposeThe Sharehouse collects still useful household furniture and other items and distributes them to families and individuals who have been homeless. In doing so The Sharehouse solves two serious problems at once by offering a meaningful alternative to throwing away still usable items, The Sharehouse keeps more than 12,000 items out of area landfills each year. And by distributing those same items to people working to rebuild their lives and establish secure and permanent homes, we offer them a much greater chance of success in that transition. Working with more than 60 homelessness service agencies throughout King County who bring their clients to us, The Sharehouse provides these basic items, free of charge, to homeless families with the goal of helping them achieve self-sufficiency, self-esteem, and long-term stability. Through this program, The Sharehouse furnishes approximately 2,000 newly established homes each year. The Sharehouse is a program of the Church Council of Greater Seattle. To keep its program operational, The Sharehouse is dependent on financial support from the community (Make a Financial Gift). StaffFour full-time and one part-time Sharehouse staffers work as a team to provide excellent service to recipients, case managers and donors.
Advisory BoardThe Sharehouse is a program of the Church Council of Greater Seattle and is governed by its Board of Directors. Like all Church Council programs, The Sharehouse has an Advisory Board whose task it is to support and inform the mission and vision of the Sharehouse through fund raising, advocacy and other activities.
