It started as a roundtable among friends in December
of 2017. How to get the discarded surplus to the
needy? Two months later, Solidarity Share Fair was
born in the basement of First Christian Church in
Eugene. In the summer it moved to Monroe Park,
and its home through the spring is at First United
Methodist Church. On the last Tuesday of every month
a group of 20-30 volunteers gather clothing, food
and other items for low-income and homeless folks.
There are haircuts, massages and sometimes music.
“Our goal is to create a welcoming environment for
everyone,” says Serra Joy of Fair Share. Joy, along
with Katy Rex and Kim Chavez, talked earlier this
month about Solidarity Share Fair. It’s not a singular
operation. Share Fair has enlisted the help of groups
like Carry It Forward, SASS and Womenspace, as well
as Occupy Medical, HIV Alliance, Burrito Brigade and
Food Not Bombs. Share Fair helps close to 200 people
when it opens for business on the final Tuesday of
any month. The need is great, and so is the need for
volunteers. “We are thirsty for volunteers,” Rex says.
Solidarity Share Fair: A Really Free Market is 3-6:30
pm Tuesday, Nov. 27, at First United Methodist Church,
1376 Olive Street. And, yes, it is open the final Tuesday
in December, Christmas day. I know I’ll be there to
volunteer. — Dan Buckwalter
