SHAREHOUSE
Martha Casselman, Director of Operations 260.413.5353 Location: 7820 Bluffton Road, Fort Wayne, IN 46809
Love In Deed Inc. established SHAREHOUSE in 2007 to effectively link Northeast Indiana nonprofits to needed nonperishable resources, thereby allowing them to direct their energies to vital ministry.
Eligibility – Any Northeast Indiana church or nonprofit is eligible to participate in SHAREHOUSE, providing they:
- Have current Federal 501(c)3 nonprofit status
- Periodically provide volunteers to help in the warehouse
- Pay a service fee of 19¢/pound for SHAREHOUSE goods (An eight pound box of diapers which retails for $20 costs only $1.52 at SHAREHOUSE)
- Do not charge others for any goods they receive
Merchandise is distributed in two primary ways. Each week organizations can place a bulk order from a list of available items (diapers, cleaning products, personal care and staple paper products). SHAREHOUSE also distributes a wide variety of merchandise at regularly scheduled “U-Pick” Distributions. At these distributions organization representatives come to a special display area and select items that are not available on bulk orders (office supplies, craft items, toys, tools, linens, household goods, etc.).
Volunteer Center @RSVP
Presenter: Ani Etter, Program Manager
Volunteer Center @ RSVP endeavors to serve its community by providing a corps of volunteers to fill important community roles, and to provide for its volunteers meaningful opportunities for community service relevant to their skills, abilities and interests.
Goals are as follows:
- Encourage citizens of Allen County, with an emphasis on persons 55 years and older and others regardless of age, race, income or disability to engage in community service. The goal is to meet needs of the community and to provide a high quality volunteer experience that will enrich lives.
- Meet the unmet human, educational, environmental and public safety needs of Allen County, without displacing existing workers.
- Expand and strengthen existing service programs with demonstrated experience in providing structured service opportunities.
- Support locally established initiatives that provide visible benefits to the participants and the community.
