Share gets new venue for annual holiday party

For the first time, Share’s annual holiday party will be held in a space big enough to accommodate the charity’s many clients, fans and friends.

That’s Share’s new Fromhold Service Center. The party will be held there from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Thursday. The address is 2306 N.E. Andresen Road.

“We are excited to welcome the community into our home to celebrate the holiday season,” said Diane McWithey, Share’s executive director.

Guests will enjoy a full, free holiday meal, listen to carolers, receive a holiday gift and visit with Santa Claus.

New gift items are still needed, including: blankets and sleeping bags; clothing and shoes of all sizes for men, women and children; board games and books, gifts cards to any grocery, clothing or music store; bus passes and gas cards.

Please bring gifts or financial contributions to the Share Fromhold Service Center, 9 a.m. Monday through Friday, through Dec. 18.
