Carlisle Events has been tied to various charitable groups for decades, be it the Salvation Army, Chip Miller Amyloidosis Foundation, United Way, Wounded Warriors, etc.  In 2020, the company forged a partnership with Project SHARE of Carlisle as a means to help others during trying times related to the COVID pandemic.  While the pandemic and its fall out may not be today what it was in 2020, there are still needs by groups like Project SHARE.  As such, Carlisle Events and its throngs of car show enthusiasts will once again be supporting this local group by way of donations.

For 2021, donations will continue in person by dropping non-perishable items in a marked bin just outside of the main points of entry gates.  The donation window runs “now” through the end of Fall Carlisle on October 3.  Suggested donation items include canned fruit with no added sugar, low sodium canned vegetables, whole grains (like whole wheat pasta, brown rice and oatmeal), canned tuna and low sodium beans.  In addition, financial donations may be processed through the Project SHARE website or even more conveniently by TEXT by texting the words CARLISLE EVENTS (case does not matter) to 44321.  From there, donors can select their support level to help nourish the community that hosts and entertains them annually.

Project SHARE’s food pantry helps community-based programs that strengthen the cornerstones for a good quality of life.  This includes education, financial stability, health and basic needs. 

“Project SHARE’s vision is ‘Nourishing Our Community…Awakening Hope,’” said Bob Weed, CEO of Project SHARE.  “Before and during this current crisis we have been providing nutritious food for our community in need,” continued Weed.  “We continue to serve our entire community in need through our monthly distribution days and our weekly Farmstand location where fresh produce, eggs, milk and bread are shared with all.  Safety and Nourishment remain our focal points in these days that we are moving through.  We will continue to serve with the support and encouragement of our community.”

Secure drop box locations will be available and those who participate can donate before, during or after attending an event in Carlisle this year.
