From its humble beginnings as 185 acres of undeveloped farmland, Sharing Meadows has grown to include four villages of three homes each, two storage buildings, the St. Timothy Center camp building, a swimming pool with pool house, and Father Blaney's home with offices in the lower level. All of these accomplishments came from one simple dream: A dream of providing a peaceful place where other-abled people would be empowered to grow to become the person God created them to be amid the joy of community life.
3rd Village
Guest House The three bedroom guest house, a welcoming haven to visitors to Sharing Meadows, was completed and opened in 2005. Families with an other-abled child will be able to stay there for a time, interact with the Villagers, and witness first-hand the productive, full, and joyous lives they lead that provide hope for the future of their child. Cost for construction, infrastructure, and furnishings was $256,000.
Endowment Fund We need to add to the endowment fund to ensure support for the new villages. We do not receive a per diem rate from the State of Indiana, but rely on private donations and our own fundraising efforts. Other-abled residents are accepted based on their suitability for Sharing Meadows, not their family's ability to pay. It's not easy, but it's the right thing to do. God, through generous people like you, does provide. As we look to the future, we ask you to join us in renewing our commitment to stewardship. Your pledge to our capital campaign will help ensure that the dream of Sharing Meadows will continue. Your pledge will help Share Foundation continue a long tradition of serving the residential, vocational, social, and spiritual needs of other-abled individuals. Your pledge will be a legacy of hope.
