NewsThe Sharing Center Named Non-Profit of the Year, Twice!
by Clint Kandle

The Sharing Center opened in 1986 with the goal of helping churches be better stewards of the monies, times and talents that God gave them. All needs are directed to the Sharing Center, which works to eliminate duplication of services while ensuring all needs are addressed. This year they received the Non-Profit Business of the Year from both the Greater Sanford Regional and the Seminole County Regional Chambers of Commerce. The center not only provides support for the church and community, it also provides an excellent opportunity to serve. For more information visit our website or read their Church Handbook 2015. If you feel led by the Spirit, join in.
