Shop & Share is getting a temporary transformation for 2020!
In a year when the needs of Forest Hills students and family continue to grow, we knew it was more important than ever to find a way to help fulfill those needs, while coming to grips with the reality that Shop & Share, in its traditional format, wasn't going to be possible.
Shop & Share is going virtual and will be known as Care & Share 2020! We've spent some time working with the Forest Hills counseling teams and will be making the students and families in Forest Hills school buildings our primary focus this year. While the name and format have changed for this year, the needs have not - we know that together we will still make a significant difference in the lives of so many in need this holiday season and beyond!
Three Ways to Get Involved
Coin Wars/Clash of the Quarters, Wish List Requests and Target Night are on hold for this year (we can't wait for them to make a comeback in 2021) but the essence of those pieces of this project remain:

Three Ways to Get Involved
Coin Wars/Clash of the Quarters, Wish List Requests and Target Night are on hold for this year (we can't wait for them to make a comeback in 2021) but the essence of those pieces of this project remain:
- If you normally make a general donation to Shop & Share, make a donation in any amount and we will put it to work for our students and families.
- If you typically request a wish list or grab one during our Target Shopping night and shop with your own money, you can select how many people you would like to support, make a $50-$75 per person donation and we will direct your contribution toward the students identified by Forest Hills Counselors.
- If Coin Wars/Clash of the Quarters is how you typically get involved, you can add your donation to a school bucket(s). No contests this year, but we will be issuing some school challenges - keep an eye on our Facebook and Twitter feeds throughout Care & Share for details.
Shop & Share's core has always been kids learning they can make an impact in their community, regardless of academic, socio-economic or physical ability. If you are making a donation and have a student that will be taking part in Care & Share, let us know. Whether they rake a neighbor's leaves, lend a hand around the house, donate some gently used toys or clothes, or find some other way to make our community better, we want to hear about their generosity and leadership! Their involvement makes this such an incredible project year after year.
Thank you for your continued support - we're looking forward to another year of working together to show just how much we CARE about our community!
