Thank you!!
Welcome to Share the Spirit
On November 25, Thanksgiving Day, the East Bay Times launched its annual edition of Share the Spirit. This holiday campaign is our way of giving back to the community by shining a light on its most vulnerable residents — and showing how we all can help.
Since 1994, The East Bay Times has been publishing stories about the hopes and desires of some of the least fortunate among us.
Share the Spirit is one of the most meaningful projects we do each year and we’re grateful that the stories have encouraged you to support so many individuals, families and groups coping with significant challenges. With your help, our community will become an even better place.
Sincerely,
Sharon Ryan
Publisher of the East Bay Times
