The Marriage of Weddings and Charitable Giving

Thanks to an email from a couple in Majorca, Spain, SHARED will receive donations in lieu of wedding gifts for this charity-minded couple. Mr. Morten Sondergaard and Miss Anett Bernhardt Jensen, who were married on September 23, 2006, asked invited guests to make a contribution to SHARED as a wedding gift. The couple found the SHARED web site on the internet and wants to support our work with AIDS orphans in Lesotho.

Couples everywhere are connecting their wedding day with their favorite charity by asking for donations to be made in lieu of wedding gifts. They are even making charitable donations as wedding favors. Whether it is a wedding, bar or bat mitzvah, anniversary or any other occasion, we can help you make any event a way to raise money for your favorite charity while celebrating a special day.

If you would like to connect SHARED with charitable giving for your special day, please contact us to talk about what you would like to make your day special while helping others in need.

Do You Have an Inkjet Printer? Then Let's Recycle and Fund Raise!  

Help us earn cash by recycling your used printer cartridges. Simply put the used cartridges in one of our preprinted, postage prepaid baggies and send them off like regular mail. Our organization gets paid up to $4.00 per cartridge!

We are a member of the Empties4Cash program which pays nonprofits for getting individuals and businesses to recycle using our specially printed baggies (which are given to us free of charge). If you have a Canon, Dell, Hewlett Packard, Lexmark or Sharp inkjet printer, your recycling can earn money for us. Check the list of acceptable cartridges and start recycling today.

Sign up today for our recycling program by sending an email to contact@healthshares.org with your name and mailing address. Tell us how many cartridges you recycle per month and we'll send you the baggies to use for recycling. Each month Empties4Cash automatically sends us a check for the value of the cartridges! It is that simple.

Whether you have one printer at home or dozens or hundreds of them at work, let's recycle together. If you would like to help us by recycling at work and throw away dozens or hundreds of cartridges per month, we can provide postage prepaid boxes to use instead of baggies. Either way, this program is free of charge!

Don't throw away those empty cartridges! Use your empty printer cartridge to raise money for SHARED.
