Community Sharing was created in 2004 by expanding the scope of Community Resource Sharing which was primarily a food pantry serving the Milford area. Upon its creation, various area churches and organizations joined the core planning group and board. The primary focus was to continue the food pantry while exploring other areas of assistance that would be beneficial to the community. Community Sharing has expanded it's services to providing food, clothing, asistance with evictions, utility shut-offs, and other emergencies, referrals to other agencies, advocacy, and tutoring (K-12) for eligible residents of Milford, Highland, and the Stratford Villa and Commerce Meadows mobile home communities in Wixom. Helping all clients to achieve financial independence is the ultimate goal of Community Sharing.

The People Behind Community Sharing

 

We are a not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) organization which is overseen by a board of thirteen members and operated by a group of over 100 volunteers. Additional community members generously donate their professional services to supply accounting, legal, and marketing related activities.

This community support reaches well outside our core group of volunteers. Through the partnership of two nonprofit groups and eight local churches, our resources strengthen and our ability to help those in need expands. It is the sharing of our community.
