KINGSTON — The fundraising campaign ShareNet relies on for its annual operating budget has hit $18,000 in donations, according to director Mark Ince.

The campaign ends Dec. 31.

The fundraising effort’s main goal is to provide money for day-to-day operations. The annual budget is approximately $150,000. Eight to 10 percent of the budget comes from grants, 5 to 7 percent comes from federal programs, and the rest comes from Neighbor Aid and individual contributions through the year.

ShareNet is a state-registered charity operating under the 501c3 of Bayside Community Church. It operates a food bank and thrift store, and provides emergency food provision, emergency power and rental assistance for residents faced with shut-off notices or eviction, and a weekend take-home food program for school children.

ShareNet’s service area is Kingston, Eglon, Hansville, Indianola, Little Boston, Port Gamble, and some border addresses in Poulsbo and Suquamish.

ShareNet is affiliated with the Kitsap County Food Bank Coalition, the Washington Food Coalition, Feeding America, Food Lifeline, and Northwest Harvest. The purchasing power of these networks helps ShareNet stretch every dollar.
