Kind Words
From Our Community
Jasmine R.
I wanted to take the time and formally thank you for paying for my CNA class. It really means a lot to me because I've known for a LONG time that I wanted to pursue a career in the medical field, and this is only the beginning of my journey. Thank you for providing me with this opportunity of a lifetime.
This organization went above and beyond to help me get a gift to a child and also helped me help a lot of small children with personal item needs. Such an amazing group of people! Thank you so much!

Sharing and Caring’s mission is simple – to spread joy to families during the holiday season. We seek to show compassion for our neighbors, and in 2018, served over 1,340 families in Benton County. It has been a privilege to volunteer with this organization for the last 12 years and to be part of something that, through both our holiday and scholarship programs, makes a difference in the lives of others.
