Dear friend,
On behalf of SHARE!, we would like to thank you for your continuous support and hope that you consider SHARE! as you make your year-end charitable contributions! During the past year, thousands of people have been served every month at SHARE!’s Collaborative Housing program, two self-help centers, countywide support group referrals and Volunteer-to-Jobs program.
We are proud to get people into recovery by getting them into shared living and making referrals to great self-help support groups— all for free, something no other organization provides. We also have been humbled by the appreciation and gratitude so many of you have expressed. It is truly an honor and privilege for SHARE! to be of service.
As you plan your year-end giving during this time, we hope you will make a charitable, tax-deductible donation to SHARE!. In 2012, we plan to expand our work to continue getting people into housing, into recovery, and into leading the lives they want.
But in order to do so, we need your help. So we ask you to consider a donation of $10, $25, or more in order to help us build the strong organization we need to promote recovery and encourage the public to recognize the power of recovery to transform lives.
To make a donation, please visit: http://www.shareselfhelp.org/supportshare.html
Remember, even a donation of only $10 will help us to do much more in 2012.
Thank you in advance for your support. From all of us at SHARE!, we wish you a wonderful season of celebration and a happy, healthy new year!
Yours in recovery,
Ruth Hollman, Executive Director
Jason Robison, Program Director
Libby Hartigan, Program Manager

SHARE! provides many services including:
- SHARE! Collaborative Housing is a public-private partnership to provide affordable, permanent, supportive housing to disabled people. Disabled residents share a bedroom in a house with a roommate of their choice. The owner furnishes the house, pays for all the utilities, does not collect a Security Deposit and joins an owners’ association that regularly inspects the houses to ensure quality. The sponsoring government or other organization provides referrals to the house, responds to any tenant problems in a timely manner, visits regularly to help with residents’ needs and insures that the house is properly run. Residents attend weekly self-help support groups, help with neighborhood projects and provide support for other residents. Community groups provide mentors for gardening and cooking and help with problems that pop up.
- Self-help Support Group Clearinghouse for Los Angeles County. Countywide referrals to 10,000 self-help meetings representing 500 different programs. Our information is updated monthly as self-help groups tend to move around or be moved around and come and go. Our Self-Help Specialists can find a meeting in your neighborhood that is right for you. SHARE!’s 24-hour voicemail lets you push button for contact information for hundreds of self-help groups. Call (310) 846-5270 or toll free 1-877-SHARE-49.
-
SHARE! Self-Help Centers. SHARE! operates self-help centers that provide meeting space for self-help support groups of all kinds ranging from anger management, depression, self-esteem, communications and relationships, incest survivors, alcoholics, drug addicts, smoking, reaching goals, etc. Meetings pay a percentage of their donations so that there is no rent pressure and it is easy to start a new meeting. Each meeting room is furnished like a living room, with the exception of our writing room, which has a conference table and chairs. We provide space for sober dances, self-help marathon meetings and conferences.
-
SHARE! Culver City has been providing meeting space in Culver City for 16 years. SHARE! Culver City currently has six meeting rooms where approximately 90 self-help support groups meet each week. We also have leads on meeting space in other parts of the county.
