2012 Recertification Information

As announced yesterday, Community Shares is moving the deadline for recertification packets to Monday, February 6 at 3pm. Any packets postmarked February 3 will also be accepted without fines.

After careful consideration, we have closed the Community Shares office. Email will be the best way to reach staff working remotely. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes but are making safety a top priority. Much thanks for your continued partnership!
