How ShareNetwork Works

---

ShareNetwork is not a centralized charity.

It is a national infrastructure that enables local action.

1. ShareNetwork Builds the Infrastructure

ShareNetwork develops the technology, standards, training, and transparency systems that allow local communities to operate responsibly and independently.

This includes:

• certification and trust standards 
• coordination tools 
• operational templates 
• public transparency dashboards
   

2. Local Communities Operate Independently

Local Share Nodes - often based in parishes or communities - operate their own initiatives.

They:

• raise their own local support 
• source food locally 
• engage volunteers locally 
• make decisions locally
   

ShareNetwork does not control their operations.

3. Participation Replaces Dependency

This is not charity as consumption.

Those who are able:

• participate 
• contribute 
• serve
   

Participation restores dignity.
Dignity rebuilds communities.

ShareNetwork does not distribute food or money.

It distributes trust, tools, and standards — so communities can act on their own.
