FOOD PROGRAM: Catholic Charities’ SHARE Food Network provides wholesome and nutritious food to families and individuals at a reduced cost. Through its community-based operation, SHARE promotes volunteer service and creates partnerships with organizations that serve as host sites.

SHARE food packages are available to anyone. There is no application, qualification, identification or documentation required to buy SHARE food packages.

Monthly value packages cost just $30 and include up to $50 worth of groceries. Each package contains four to six pounds of frozen protein items and eight to 12 pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables. Seasonal groceries and desserts are often available.

Your order and payment are taken by an organization that serves as a SHARE host site partner. Food packages are prepared each month by Catholic Charities volunteers and administrative staff at a SHARE warehouse and distributed to host sites in the Washington, D.C., and Baltimore metropolitan areas. Food orders are picked up at the host site location on a day designated by the host. Food packages cannot be delivered to a consumer’s home.

All host site locations can be found on the website.
