The Sharks Foundation will host Share The Warmth Drives at their home games on Dec. 11 (vs. DAL) and 17 (vs. ANA) to support Sacred Heart Community Services (SHCS).

 

Sharks fans can assist by dropping off new or gently used blankets and jackets or by making monetary donations as they enter the North or South Entrances of HP Pavilion at San Jose.

 

All donors will receive a raffle ticket for a drawing to be held that night, with prizes including autographed Sharks items. Raffle winners will be announced on the Video Board during the first intermission and must claim their prize at the Sharks Foundation booth (located outside Section 124) before the end of the second intermission.

 

SHCS was founded in 1964 and its mission is to work towards a community united to ensure that every child and adult is free from poverty. Over 1,500 customers walk through their doors daily to access a wide range of services. The programs, from basic needs to education, are offered comprehensively under one roof and are free of charge to the customers.  

 

Items donated during the drives will be distributed via the Clothes Closet. Over 300 families a day come through the Clothes Closet to find clothing for their family, a suit for an interview, a blanket during the cold winter, or a pair of shoes for work. All of the clothing, bedding, and linens are donated through the generosity of individual donors and over 35 schools, churches, and agencies a year.
