Helping those in need
starts with you!
In the 90’s Sheri Kimball Biesinger began efforts to help low income families by holding clothing drives. Community members were asked to donate gently used clothing and other essentials to be distributed to low income families in the Salt Lake City Valley. The objective was to engage more community members to participate in drive efforts, as well as to increase distribution to more families in need in the community. In that same year, The Sharing Team was able to collect enough gifts to proved 2,000 children with Christmas gifts. Sheri was given many local as well as national awards, she was a recipient of the Local as well as National Point of Light Award. http://www.pointsoflight.org/programs/recognition/dpol/awards/2209
The Sharing Team continued their efforts year after year, and eventually began to incorporate school supplies in their drives. They established relationships with area school principles, counselors & school psychologists from elementary and junior high schools and Community Action Teams to extend the network of referrals for families in need. These professionals and community action members identified many children and families and a referral process was established between the organization and these sources. As word spread and the charity grew, the members of The Sharing Team decided to apply for non-profit status.
The Sharing Team has been working tirelessly to help at risk/needy children through the Public School Systems, Community Action Groups, Low Income Providers & “Better Yourself “Programs. The mission for the Sharing Team is to provide needs of "At-Risk" schools, low income homes and distribute needed items to the youth. We also have a large program during the Christmas Holidays providing toys, clothing and essentials to children and families who are in need.

Project “Deck” the Halls
Something as simple as a deck of playing cards can spark connection, laughter, and hope for someone who needs it most.
This season, help us “Deck Their Halls” all year long by donating new playing cards and small thoughtful items that brighten lives and lift spirits.
There are a large number of homeless living among us. Most are living on the streets, sleeping on a sidewalk or in an alley. Some have tents to keep out the elements and some have a cardboard box.
Many are having trouble finding warm hats, gloves and nutritious food to sustain them during the winter.
We have thousands of warm hats and we need YOU to team us with us to fill the hats with items to help keep them a bit warmer and fill them with food.
Five Million Meals to the needy
At The Sharing Team work tirelessly to fill those gaps by delivering cases of food, hygiene items, and other necessities where they’re needed most. But we can’t do it alone. Please join us—your donations help us bring hope and relief to those who are struggling. Together, we can restock these shelves and uplift our community.
