Shari’s in the Community
What could be better than taking an active part in the communities we serve? Shari’s loves nothing more than helping out our families, friends and neighbors. We focus on the needs of the young and the young-at-heart. Those folks at opposite ends of the age spectrum often the ones who need the most help.
Through a combination of gifts, sponsorships, discounts and donations, Shari’s provides ongoing, community-building support in many ways.
