Mission

OUR MISSION: Affirm Dignity - Release Hope - Impact Lives

The mission of Salina Shares is to share our time, our lives and our resources to enrich the lives of others.

Generosity of spirit and acts of kindness are at the heart of Salina Shares.

We began as a group of friends doing "random" acts of kindness.  Today, we continue to grow, with the intention of being a “sudden good break” to those we meet along the way.

OUR MOTTO: "Do What You Can, When You Can"

We believe that each person has the potential to share something with others, and contribute to a cycle of generosity.

"The world is changed by your example, not your opinion."

Paulo Coelho

“Unrelenting disappointment leaves you heartsick - but a sudden good break can turn a life around.”

Proverbs 13:12 | The Message
