This is part of the SHARE program (www.sharecolorado.com , for more info).

In a nutshell, SHARE uses volunteer labor and group purchasing to keep prices low. You are expected to 'give back' to the community by volunteering -- anyway you want -- in your community.

Check out SHARE Colorado for more info. I have been doing SHARE for 2 years now, and I am overall pleased with the program.

**********************************

I didn't go for the Regular, Junior, or Easter specials. But I bought 3 produce packs. And some of the 'choice' items.

**********************************

I have placed a big order for next month, though:

* 1 Assortment special (see first post above).
* 3 produce packs
* 2 frozen pasta packs (each Pasta Package Includes: 18oz. Manicotti, 18oz. Stuffed Shells, 13oz. Cheese Ravioli, 16oz. Tri Color Tortellini, 13oz. Montery Jack and Swiss Pierorgies, 13oz. Potato and Cheddar Pierorgie Bites, 12oz. Spinich and Cheese Stuffed Rigatoni.)
2 pizza packs (each 12 pack 5" Pizzas are the same kind we had in our SuperBowl package by a major home delivery company) [*** I'm guessing it's Schwann's? Sound reasonable?]

plus corn dogs, brownie bites, and small oatmeal packets.

****************************************

So, I'm wondering if I should order another assortment special.

I am in PA, so I can't get this but I do the Angel Food Ministries which is pretty much the same, but thanks for the info!

**MOMMYDEAREST** · 03-26-2006, 09:45 AM

sounds like a great deal!!!!!

**mouse** · 03-26-2006, 09:59 AM

I'm so glad you guys are talking about this! I used to live in CO, but moved to CA about a year and a half ago and now am preparing to move to PA...I've been looking all over to find a program in PA simalar to SHARE...does Angel Food Ministeries have a website?

**mouse** · 03-26-2006, 10:08 AM

I did a little further looking and found the website. it really is fantastic. unfortunately i don't eat meat and the package contains a lot of it. i think it's a great program though. we need more of these.

**Early Bird** · 03-26-2006, 09:44 PM

Mouse,

Was this the site you found?

http://angelfoodministries.com/

?

That's how my friend found the location in her area; no angel ministries in ours, but I'm glad to have SHARE.

**mouse** · 03-27-2006, 10:00 AM

yay, that's the one. I did a lot more looking and found a SHARE program in Eastern PA and possibly one in Western, i'll have to call around a bit after I move. I wonder if there are any other programs (with different names)? i'll keep looking around.
