The Festival of Sharing is an interfaith celebration and gathering of resources, is a cooperative response to world hunger, poverty, and injustice and seeks to raise awareness of its causes and to address solutions. The Festival of Sharing promotes and supports projects and programs by providing funding and resource goods. When people of faith come together, our sharing makes a positive and powerful difference in the lives of people in need. There are several ways you can be involved.

The Ferguson Sharefest will be October 19, 2019. Regular activities begin at 9:30 am and include dropping off donations, praying over gifts, assembling kits and packs, packing rice, and more. Youth (grades 6-12) have an opportunity to spend the night on Friday, October 18, 2019. It costs $20 for each youth, and chaperones are required. While staying the night, youth will be preparing to serve at the Ferguson Sharefest on October 19th, 2019. The $20 registration fee includes a t-shirt, breakfast, and a poverty education activity done by Heifer International.

Seed packets for Festival of Sharing and monetary donations need to be at St. Andrew’s on or before Sunday, October 13, 2019.
