Community
Sharing, located in Highland Twp, MI, 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, assistance 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.
