Project SHARE started back in 1989 and was formerly known as C.O.E.S.
(Community Outreach Emergency Services). The offices were located within
a small building on Victoria Avenue. In 1992, the agency became
incorporated and changed its name to Project SHARE, with the acronym
meaning support, housing, awareness, resources and emergency. The name
change was accompanied with a move of their offices to 1st Avenue. By,
2002, the organization found a need for a bigger building due to the
increase in demand of its services. Project SHARE then relocated to
Stanley Avenue, where they are currently located.

Project SHARE provides emergency food to an average of 100 families per
day who are living below the poverty line in Niagara Falls. Families can
come once per calendar month for their perishable and non-perishable
grocery pickup, and once per week for perishable items such as fresh
produce and bread. Clients must show proof of residency, income and
dependents every time they access this program.

Project SHARE programs provide residents of Niagara Falls who are living
below the poverty line with basic needs. Our programs are designed to
create positive, proactive alternatives to allow people to help
themselves and their families with dignity in times of crisis.
