Share the Dream Inc
Public records show a registered, tax-exempt organization in good standing.
What it says it does
SHARE THE DREAM BELIEVES THAT EVERYONE REGARDLESS OF THEIR FINANCIAL SITUATION, DESERVES TO SHARE A MEAL AND COMPANIONSHIP DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON. BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD A GIFT FOR THEIR CHILD, HAVE THE MEANS TO PROVIDE A HOLIDAY MEAL, OR HAVE A SUPPORT NETWORK WITH WHOM TO ENJOY A HOLIDAY MEAL, SHARE THE DREAM PROVIDES A FREE COMMUNITY MEAL AND HOLIDAY CELEBRATION. REGARDLESS OF A PERSON'S ABILITY TO PAY, SHARE THE DREAM INVITES EVERYONE TO COME TOGETHER AS A COMMUNITY ONE DAY A YEAR AND SHARE A MEAL TOGETHER. THIS PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY. ADDITIONALLY, 60 VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED TO MAKE THIS EVENT SUCCESSFUL. THEREFORE, BY HOSTING COMMUNITY CHRISTMAS SHARE THE DREAM ENCOURAGES VOLUNTEERISM AND SUPPORT FOR THE LESS FORTUNATE IN THE COMMUNITY.

Financial health
We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.
