Hurricane Helene Relief
WHO WE ARE:
Sharing House is a faith-based, cooperative organization uniting area congregations, individuals, and businesses. We believe that together, we can provide more effective assistance to those in need than any one of us could achieve alone. For over 43 years, we have served as a cornerstone of compassion and crisis assistance for under-resourced neighbors in Transylvania County, NC. Guided by the principles of love-in-action and the inherent dignity of every person, we are committed to uplifting our community and fostering resilience.
WHAT WE DO:
We connect with residents of Transylvania County to deliver crisis assistance and develop programs that create lasting solutions to hunger and poverty. We provide essential services in a trauma-informed environment, including food and fresh produce, gently-used clothing, rent and utility assistance, household goods, and camping equipment. Our facility offers hot showers, a safe space for sharing stories of struggle, and a refuge of belonging.
WHY WE DO IT:
In Transylvania County, 45 percent of residents struggle with unaffordable rent, and 35 percent are considered low-income, earning less than $55,500 for a family of four. At Sharing House, we recognize the urgent need for a compassionate response to these challenges. We are committed to offering pathways out of poverty and crisis, providing support and resources that empower individuals and families to achieve stability and self-sufficiency.
