What is ShareFest? Each of our churches is an individual light to the Tri-Cities community. The question is this: How bright of a light can we shine if we bring all our churches together for one week? . As the churches in the Tri-Cities show, in a tangible way, that we care for the community, it will send a great message showing our love for God and the love our churches have for the people in the community. The result will be: Proclamation + Demonstration = Transformation!     Here is what ShareFest has accomplished in the last 7 years: Volunteers: 17,220 Projects: 1,162 Units of blood donated to Red Cross: 1,145 Lives saved from donated blood: 3,435 Pounds of food donated to local food banks: 32,520 (~16 tons) Money donated to local agencies: $303,000 Adult Drug Court Benton-Franklin Substance Abuse Coalition Boys & Girls Club Columbia Basin Veterans Coalition Community Action Committee Domestic Violence Services Grace Clinic Ignite Youth Mentoring Innkeepers Jail Treatment Center Juvenile Drug Court Olive Crest at Bailie Youth Ranch Safe Harbor Crisis Nursery Skills Development Mission Teen Challenge Young Life Union Gospel Mission Money saved to Tri-City community over the last 6 years: ~ $2 million (Figure is based on 6 years worth of volunteers, working at least 6 hours at a rate of $19.53 per hour. This rate is set by Washington State as the value put per hour on a volunteer. Source is Benton-Franklin Volunteer Center). Giving back to the Tri-City community in a big way: Priceless! We look forward to having you partner with the many Tri-Cities churches who have already signed up to be a part of ShareFest.
