A Day in the Life of Residents at Camp Sharing Meadows

SHARE Foundations’ Sharing Meadows is a 200-acre residential community located in Laporte, IN. The Villagers have very full lives, including daily work schedules. SHARE’s goal is to provide life long possibilities for these individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Taking Nothing for Granted

“I get so much satisfaction from all the love these people have to give. The villagers are thrilled at the smallest things and don’t take anything for granted. It is a pleasure to be with them.”

Denise N., Michigan City, IN

30 Years and Counting

“I have been working on the newsletter for 30 years. I keep coming back because I keep loving it. The people there are really wonderful. I feel good the entire day after getting up early and coming out there.”

A Learning Experience

“I get a lot out of volunteering. I try and help them (the villagers) make things look as nice as they do. Coming out to Sharing Meadows is a pleasure and a learning experience. It is a special blessing.”
