The Table has grown rapidly, now providing meals for over 70 families—about 330 people in need. At the start of the school year, they served just 90 individuals, but with new connections in the school district, more families have turned to them for support. To keep up with this growing need, they have set a fundraising goal of $1,000 for the month.

Though their roles differ, their shared commitment and compassion fuel the pantry's mission every single day.

The 1st Annual Nonprofit Exploration Fair at Romeo Middle School was a huge success! On Thursday, February 27th there were over 60 nonprofits in total, who met one-on-one with 1200 Romeo students to educate and inform about how organizations serve the community. Share Detroit helped advise in the pre-planning phase for the event and supported engagement by sharing nonprofit missions and answering questions about volunteering and service.

Share Detroit is home to over 500 nonprofits. Each of these nonprofits has a page on our website where they can post their events, volunteer opportunities, and wishlists. Community members can also donate directly to nonprofits via their SHARE pages and nonprofits can use SHARE as their primary donation link on their own websites. Jennifer Jackson, founder of The DRE Project, sat down with SHARE to talk about the impact SHARE’s easy-to-use platform has had on her organization’s ability to maximize donations.
