If you are interested in volunteering, we would love your support! We are especially in need of volunteers at the Kroger locations in Lawrenceburg, Versailles, and Nicholasville. It’s a great opportunity for groups to volunteer! 

Each year shoppers donate enough non-perishable goods to stock the pantry of our emergency shelter for the year. Organized by @britainybeshear and @zerovkentucky, Shop & Share supports survivors of intimate partner abuse and emergency shelters across the state. Every item collected at Kroger stores in our 17-county service area will help survivors we serve.
Shop & Share is back on Saturday, February 7 and w Shop & Share is back on Saturday, February 7 and we need your help! 🛒💜 

It's a one-day donation drive at grocery stores across Kentucky to support survivors of intimate partner abuse. Shoppers can “shop” for what they need and “share” a few items with their local domestic violence shelter. Enough non-perishable goods are collected on this day to stock our shelter’s pantry for almost a year! 

Over 200 volunteers are needed and here are the ways you can help: 

🟣 Distributing our needs list at one of the 20+ Kroger locations across our 17 counties. 

🟣 Delivering donated goods from stores outside of Lexington to the shelter, especially if you drive a truck, van, or big SUV. 

🟣 Receiving, sorting, and stocking donations at the emergency shelter.

Shop & Share is sponsored by @britainybeshear and organized in coordination with @zerovkentucky, the state coalition of domestic violence programs, with the support of dozens of important partnerships across the state!
