Sharing House Update 3/26/2020

Sharing House

Dear Neighbors and Friends, the Transylvania Christian Ministry, Sharing House is experiencing a record month of food needs this March. Over 40% of this demand is from

yesterday. We thank you for your financial support and encouraging messages as we navigate this county-wide crisis.
