SHARE is a non-profit organization offering a nutritious food package of about $30. value for $16. plus two hours of community service. SHARE is not a government program and is funded by the price of the food package. The package consists of 6 to 8 pounds of meat, 8 to 10 fresh fruits and vegetables, plus some staple items. By pooling monies across the nation, SHARE purchases food at wholesale prices and passes the savings on to participants in the program. The food is distributed by a network of host organizations. The Bowie Lions Club has been a host organization for over 13 years. Anyone may participate by giving two hours of community service and paying $16. for the package. There are no income or other eligibility guidelines. People become involved to save money and help others. The community service requirement is met by doing anything without pay outside your own household. SHARE packages are distributed at the Bowie Senior Center, 14900 Health Center Drive, normally on the fourth Saturday of the month. You pay for any packages you order for the next month at the time you pick up the current month's package.
