WHAT  IS  SHAREFEST?

Every fall, volunteers from various Topeka churches come together to participate in ShareFest.  This is Topeka’s 6th annual ShareFest event.  Over 1000 volunteers are expected to donate their time and tools to add some beauty to nine USD 501 schools.

Volunteers will work from 8am-noon on Saturday, September 29th, doing clean-up, painting, planting and general maintenance work at the nine sites. ( CJOnline article )

WHAT  SCHOOLS  BENEFIT  FROM  SHAREFEST ?

The schools benefiting from their labor include Avondale West, Whitson, Stout, Meadows and McCarter elementary schools, Landon and Robinson middle schools, Topeka High School and Capital City School.  The schools were chosen for the project after approaching the District to ask which sites could use assistance, in addition to those with volunteering churches nearby.

WHAT  ORGANIZATIONS  PARTICIPATE  IN  SHAREFEST ?
