Mission

Richmond Shares was dedicated to serving low income families in Richmond. This website was developed as a result of wanting to encourage community giving and sharing above and beyond the peak seasons of giving to a year round practice.

It was a place where community members can benefit, either by donating items or receiving items.

All program efforts stayed in the community, and helped a wide range of people in need, including new immigrants, refugees, women coming out of transition houses, fire victims, single mothers, single fathers, and seniors.

History

The Richmond Shares website project was established in 2006. It was operated by the Richmond Women’s Resource Centre. In September 2025, the program was officially ended and this website will no longer be updated.
