The Sharing Shed

06/24/2026

Summer is here, and with school out, the need in our community has grown significantly.

Over the past several weeks, The Sharing Shed has been helping an average of 50 people every day with food and essential items. Many families are stretching their budgets further now that children are home for the summer and no longer receiving meals at school.

We are currently in need of:

✅ Canned meats (tuna, chicken, Spam, Vienna sausages)
✅ Peanut butter & jelly
✅ Mac & cheese
✅ Cereal
✅ Soup (chicken noodle)
✅ Pasta & pasta sauce
✅ Canned fruit & vegetables
✅ Shelf-stable milk
✅ Granola bars & snacks for kids

Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference and helps ensure that no family in our community goes without food.

📍 The Sharing Shed
220 Sandusky Street, Ashland, OH
Open 24/7 for those in need

Thank you to everyone who continues to support this ministry through donations, prayers, and sharing our posts. Together, we are making a difference in the lives of our neighbors. ❤️

Hello friends!

We wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for their continued generosity and support of the Shed. Every item in the shed is donated from someone out of the kindness of their heart. It's amazing to see how generous the Ashland community is and how many people (an average of 40 a day) are being helped by that generosity!

We also want to ask, for those who take from the Shed, please PLEASE only take what you NEED for a day or two. While not the majority, we've had a few people come into the Shed and stock up like it was a Costco, and that just hurts other people who rely on the Shed for sustenance.

We understand that some people have big families to feed, and that's ok. But if a single person or a couple is taking more than a bag or two of items, that really hurts those who come after you.

We try our best to monitor things on our security camera, but because the Shed is hosted by volunteers and is open 24hrs a day, sometimes we can't respond in real time. We rely on the good-heartedness and gratitude of those who receive from the Shed to be responsible and care about those who come after them.

That being said, the Shed is still feeding hungry bellies and putting anxious hearts to rest! Let's keep working together to make sure the Sharing Shed remains a 24/hr, judgment-free asset to the Ashland community!
