OUR STORY

In the 1990s, Sheri Kimball Biesinger began her efforts to support low-income families by organizing community clothing drives. She encouraged local residents to donate gently used clothing and essential household items that could be redistributed to families throughout the Salt Lake Valley. Her goal was to involve more community members in meaningful service while expanding the reach of these efforts to help as many struggling families as possible. That same year, The Sharing Team collected enough donated gifts to provide Christmas for more than 2,000 children. Sheri’s dedication earned her numerous local and national honors, including the prestigious Daily and National Point of Light Award. http://www.pointsoflight.org/programs/recognition/dpol/awards/2209

As the work continued year after year, The Sharing Team expanded its outreach to include school supplies and everyday essentials. Sheri and her volunteers built strong partnerships with local school principals, counselors, psychologists, and Community Action Teams, creating a reliable referral network that identified children and families most in need. As the charity’s impact grew and word of its service spread, the members of The Sharing Team made the decision to apply for nonprofit status—solidifying their mission to uplift the community for generations to come.

COMPANY OVERVIEW & MISSION

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.

Community Outreach Project

We provide compassionate, hands-on community outreach throughout Utah, focusing on individuals and families facing hardship. They supply essential resources such as clothing, warm items, food, and household goods to those experiencing homelessness, financial struggle, or re-housing transitions. Entirely volunteer-run, the organization steps in to fill critical gaps by offering immediate relief as well as connecting people to long-term support services. Through seasonal drives, emergency response efforts, and year-round assistance, The Sharing Team uplifts vulnerable women, children, and families by ensuring they are seen, supported, and given the tools to move forward with hope and dignity.

The Sharing Team also provides significant support for children through its Sub-for-Santa outreach, ensuring that the neediest families are not forgotten during the holidays. Each year, the organization helps provide Christmas for more than 3,000 children, delivering toys, clothing, essentials, and heartfelt care to homes where resources are scarce. This massive effort is fueled entirely by community donations and volunteers who believe every child deserves joy, dignity, and a moment of magic at Christmastime. By focusing on the most vulnerable, The Sharing Team brings hope to thousands of families and reminds the community of the power of generosity and unity.

Homeless Project

We go on the streets

The Sharing Team also conducts vital street outreach three times each week, hand-delivering more than 200 supply sacks each visit to individuals living without shelter. With compassion and consistency, volunteers walk directly into the areas where the homeless community lives—sidewalks, alleys, hidden corners, tent clusters, and even makeshift cardboard shelters. They meet people where they are, offering food, warm clothing, hygiene items, and human connection to those who are often unseen and unsupported. This ongoing outreach ensures that hundreds of vulnerable men, women, and children receive immediate relief, dignity, and a reminder that the community has not forgotten them.

distributing precious items

During each street outreach, The Sharing Team delivers essential hygiene items and clean socks—simple but critical supplies that most people living on the streets cannot easily access. Many individuals they serve struggle to find warm hats, gloves, and the nutritious food needed to sustain themselves through Utah’s harsh winters. By consistently showing up with these necessities, The Sharing Team provides comfort, protection, and hope to those who face the cold with little more than what they can carry. Their efforts help preserve dignity while offering life-sustaining support to some of the most vulnerable members of the community.

to the needy

The Sharing Team has thousands of warm hats ready to distribute this winter, but they need the community’s help to make each one truly meaningful. They are inviting volunteers, families, church groups, and local businesses to partner with them by helping fill these hats with essential items—such as gloves, socks, hand-warmers, hygiene supplies, and nourishing food. Each filled hat becomes a small bundle of warmth and care for someone facing the cold without shelter. By teaming up with The Sharing Team, community members can make a direct, immediate difference in the lives of Utah’s most vulnerable this winter.

Our Community Needs Us

When Shelves Go Empty, We Step In —

But We Need Your Help

Many neighborhood and school food banks are facing empty shelves, leaving families and students without access to even the most basic essentials. The Sharing Team works tirelessly to fill these gaps by delivering cases of food, hygiene items, warm clothing, and other necessities wherever the need is greatest. But they cannot do it alone. They are asking the community to join them—because every donation, large or small, helps bring hope, stability, and relief to those who are struggling. Together, we can restock these shelves, support vulnerable families, and strengthen our community in meaningful and lasting ways.
