Caring & Sharing General Giving Fundraiser

Founded in the early 1970s by Helen Nachtrieb, our organization began as a volunteer-run thrift store called God's Closet. We became a nonprofit in 2002 to ensure our mission continued.

In 2004, New Caring & Sharing moved to our current location on the corner of 4th and G Street. We've been a cornerstone of the community ever since.

New Caring & Sharing Thrift Store

Our thrift store serves as the economic engine that funds all our outreach ministries. We offer community members an affordable place to shop for clothing, furniture and household goods.

All merchandise comes from generous donations, which helps keep usable products out of local landfills. The proceeds from our sales go directly back into funding our food pantry and community lunch programs.

Neighborhood Sharing Pantry

This local food pantry allows our neighbors to make sure they have the nutritious items their families need. We provide fresh produce from our community garden, shelf-stable foods and care cards that can be redeemed at New Caring & Sharing.

We also supply propane vouchers from October to April, and free durable medical equipment to those requiring assistance.

The Open Table Community Lunch

We offer a warm, welcoming space where anyone can enjoy a hot meal twice a week. Our community lunch can also be a place for social interaction and relationship building.

Through sharing food, we hope to meet the spiritual and physical needs of the Salida community. We meet people where they are, providing uplifting conversation and physical nourishment to our neighbors.
