ShareFest Santa Cruz County
What Is It?
ShareFest began as an event sponsored by many area churches to demonstrate God’s love by reaching out to those in need within Santa Cruz County during a weekend of service and giving. It’s developed into continuing activities during the year for volunteers from local churches to assist public schools, shelters, and others serving the community.
What kinds of projects are done, and how are they chosen?
Each church will decide if they want to identify their own projects and focus within their immediate church neighborhood or do a “city reach” project in one of the cities of Santa Cruz County. If your church needs suggestions, we have some available. Typical projects could include painting, fixing, cleaning, or beautifying schools, senior homes; or perhaps sprucing up playgrounds in public parks or schools.
What is needed from my church?
- Fill out and fax in the Partnering Church Signup Form (forms can be found on this website or a packet will be mailed to you).
- Select a project and participate on the ShareFest workday. (The city is preparing projects for us — call if you would like us to help you select a project).
- Select a person who will be the Liaison for your church.
