ABOUT US

Built from hands-on service.

Sharing Love Community Outreach was founded to meet people where they are and turn compassion into practical support. Our work is rooted in direct community involvement, meaningful partnerships and a commitment to showing up for youth and families.

From food and diaper distribution to foster youth support, school givebacks, special-needs services, enrichment and international outreach, we focus on creating real, visible impact.

Our work in action

Foster youth and children in care

We support foster youth and children facing transitions with free essentials, school supplies, clothing, hygiene products, comfort items and community-centered givebacks. Our outreach also serves foster families and caregivers.

Disability and special-needs inclusion

Our mission includes children and adults with disabilities and the families supporting them. Program priorities include inclusive enrichment, educational resources, caregiver connections, and development of support opportunities involving speech, behavioral and counseling services.

Students, teachers and school communities

We organize filled backpacks, school supplies, classroom resources, books, youth sports apparel and other learning essentials. A school-based perfect-attendance recognition and backpack initiative is in development for Bay Area students.

Families facing housing or financial hardship

Direct assistance includes groceries, diapers, hygiene supplies, clothing, blankets, baby essentials and referrals. We also help connect newly housed families with donated furniture, beds and household necessities when resources are available.

Unhoused neighbors and emergency support

Outreach has included food and essential-goods distributions, warm blankets and practical help for people navigating homelessness or urgent family needs.

Volunteer-led distribution operations

From coordinating pickups and freight deliveries to inventory, sorting, packing and distributing merchandise, our work is hands-on. We use a 10 × 30-foot storage hub with freight-truck access and a pallet jack, and draw on previous experience moving multiple pallets of merchandise per week.

Recent donations and community preparation

Our recent inventory and donation activity has included more than 288 filled backpacks for Bay Area youth, 25 blankets received, and 32 youth baseball jerseys, 34 pairs of pants and five baseballs donated by Angels at Bat. We have also coordinated a donation of seven pallets containing 115 cardboard playhouses. Items received or arranged are not counted as distributed until they reach recipients.

Local roots, international relationships

Sharing Love is based in Brentwood, California, and serves communities throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. Our international outreach builds on community work and relationships in Zanzibar, Tanzania, with school, youth and community organizations. Additional November 2026 Zanzibar givebacks are being planned; Senegal is a personal vacation destination, not a scheduled donation-distribution location for this trip.

Donations and merchandise we can put to work

We welcome opportunities involving pallets of merchandise, backpacks, school supplies, socks, baseball jerseys and pants, diapers, hygiene kits, blankets, furniture, mattresses, clothing, drinkware including Stanley-style cups, and other useful new goods, subject to capacity and recipient needs.

Recent donation activity includes hundreds of filled school backpacks, baseball uniforms and balls, blankets, and an arranged donation of seven pallets of cardboard playhouses. We can coordinate bulk delivery to storage and organize distribution through local community connections.

Established hands-on product redistribution experience

Our founder has hands-on experience handling and distributing merchandise associated with Good360, Burlington, SKIMS, Nike, Stanley and other companies. This reflects real product-redistribution work already performed—not merely a wish list of companies to approach. Distribution experience with a brand or its products does not, by itself, mean the brand is a current official sponsor of Sharing Love.

We welcome recurring redistribution partnerships, surplus inventory, product donations, freight support and referrals to organizations with goods available for community use.

OUR IMPACT

Personally served. Hand-delivered. Community-centered.

Our hands-on outreach and product redistribution serve thousands of individuals each month. Below are examples of specific past distributions and the communities we support; figures describe different activities and should not be added together as a unique-person total.

Sharing Love serves thousands of individuals monthly through direct outreach and resource distribution. Other figures describe specific past distributions and activities, not a complete monthly or annual count.

We believe impact should be personal, accountable and visible — not just promised.

“Love becomes impact when we put it into action.”
TRAVEL WITH PURPOSE

Community impact beyond borders.

Travel With Purpose extends Sharing Love Community Outreach's mission internationally by combining direct community support with respectful storytelling, local partnerships and donated resources.

Our 2026 givebacks focus on Zanzibar, Tanzania, with school supplies, hygiene products, youth resources, sports equipment and community partnerships. Senegal is a personal travel destination, not a Sharing Love donation-distribution location.
