2024 Year-in-Review

Greetings! This fall 288 volunteers donated 1,514 hours of time to the seven Sharefest events across the state. This time was spent packing hygiene and dental kits, assembling paper product packs and food boxes, tying fleece blankets, packaging rice, unloading and loading vehicles, counting and sorting kits, praying over gifts, greeting volunteers, and learning about the work agencies do. This work doesn't even include the time and talents offered throughout the year in preparation.

Together the Sharefests benefitted 79 agencies working across Missouri to serve over 48,000 people.

Additionally, the results from the 2024 Quilt Auction are in! Fifty-five bidders on 69 quilted items raised a total of $6,493.92 for Church World Service. That's 650 blankets for those in need!

As a reminder, Festival of Sharing is primarily using digital communications. Stay up-to-date with the Festival website and Festival Facebook Page.
