Call for the Offering      The Sharing Locker
The Sharing Locker is one of Westminster’s outreach projects and has been in operation since February 2010.  We reach out to anyone in Washington or Kent County, as well as Cranston residents who are experiencing a need for assistance with non-food products and/or pet food.  The Sharing locker is, by design, closely aligned with our Westminster vision and mission.
