Barnes & Noble Gift Wrapping

to Benefit SHARED

Join us on December 3rd from 9 AM to 3 PM and on December 17 from 3 PM to 11 PM, when SHARED's volunteers will be at the Barnes & Noble Prudential Center to gift wrap your purchases.  Barnes & Noble generously donates wrapping paper and SHARED supplies talented volunteers to make your holiday shopping easier.   Let us wrap your gifts and your optional donation will benefit our work.

While you are at the Barnes & Noble, we hope you will purchase a signed copy of "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Giving Back". 

Written by SHARED's President, Elizabeth Ziemba, the book acknowledges that it isn't always easy for people to make intelligent decisions about donating their time, services, and money to meet their own giving goals, and at the same time, help not-for-profit organizations achieve their visions while avoiding scams and pitfalls. The book with the tongue in cheek title, “ The Complete Idiot's Guide to Giving Back ”, is designed to help people define their giving goals in a variety of ways from the tried and true to the innovative. It is the perfect holiday gift for family, friends and yourself!

By showing people how not-for-profits work and how donations are utilized, readers can determine the best ways to match their personal ideals, values and giving goals with a meaningful group or cause. Filled with useful tips and insights, the "Guide to Giving Back" is an essential tool for people who are serious about volunteering and charitable giving.

Ms. Ziemba has pledged 10% of the net proceeds from the sale of the book to SHARED to support the organization.  Read about how the book got started in a short interview with Universal Giving.
