We are so excited and honored that Velvet is being acknowledged by the SHARE! Foundation on October 23rd! Please join us in supporting this wonderful non-profit!

Ticket and table sales are vital to SHARE!'s mission of helping thousands of people get housing, jobs and into recovery through SHARE!'s self-help support group programs. SHARE! the Self-Help And Recovery Exchange has grown considerably since it started with three meeting rooms in 1993. SHARE! now operates two self-help support centers, one in Culver City and one in downtown L.A., which host 135 self-help support groups a week. SHARE! also makes referrals throughout Los Angeles to self-help support groups for every kind of life issue from Alzheimer's, to anger issues, to alcoholism, to cancer, to debt, to eating issues, to family issues, to grief, to gambling, to mental health…you get the picture. Self-help group meetings are often the only places people can find the hope, tools and support they need to make their lives more meaningful and productive.

Together these self-help support centers provide services for over 5,000 people per month at a fraction of the cost of traditional mental health providers. SHARE! does all this with fewer than 15 full-time staff! Without private contributions, SHARE! would not be able to reach so many with so little. Please see the INVITE here that contains the information on how to contribute or you can reach Libby Hartigan with SHARE! at libby@shareselfhelp.org or 310-846-5270.
