Kelowna & District S.H.A.R.E Society is a community-based, not-for-profit thrift store that has been serving our wonderful city since 1977! S.H.A.R.E stands for "Self-Help through Arts, Recreation, and Education". We believe in giving "hands up" rather than "handouts" and value equity, inclusion, diversity, and community. We proudly identify as a safe space for all to shop, work, and volunteer at. 100% of proceeds from sales made in-store go back into funding our various programs which support the community in a variety of ways.

These carefully crafted S.H.A.R.E Society programs include:
- Community Assistance Program (CAP)
- Adopt-a-Family Hamper Program (AFHP)
- Community Service Worker Program (CSW)
- Details of Retail Intro Program (CSW)
- Volunteer Engagement Program (VEP)
- Work Experience, Transition to Employment, and Work Place Assessments

Volunteers play a vital role in supporting the organization's operations, programs, and services. They contribute their time, skills, and energy to help those in need and make a positive impact in their community. Without the support of volunteers, Kelowna & District S.H.A.R.E Society would struggle to meet the needs of its clients and provide the level of service and care that it currently offers.

Volunteering with S.H.A.R.E Society is an excellent opportunity for individuals to make a meaningful contribution to their community while gaining valuable experience and skills.
In addition to the personal fulfillment that comes with volunteering, volunteers also benefit from the opportunity to meet new people, learn new skills, and build their resumes and professional networks. They can also take advantage of training and development opportunities to further enhance their knowledge and expertise.

Overall, Kelowna & District S.H.A.R.E Society needs volunteers because they are essential to the organization's success in providing much-needed services and support to vulnerable populations in the Kelowna area. By volunteering with the organization, individuals can make a significant difference in their community and improve the lives of those in need.
