Share of Lancaster exists to bring comfort and understanding to families who have suffered the loss of a child through miscarriage, pregnancy complications, prematurity, stillbirth, SIDS and any other cause. We stand by parents in their journey of grief, offering a helping hand, a listening ear and open arms. Share is a place to bring a broken heart.

As Share of Lancaster Board Members and Staff, we willingly commit to living:

Our Vision
To foster a community of hope and healing.

 

Compelling Vision
To honor grieving families by providing services which encourage and support them and by acting as an advocate for them in our community.

 

For the past four decades, Share of Lancaster has passionately supported local families navigating the heart-wrenching loss of an infant due to miscarriage, pregnancy complications, prematurity, stillbirth, SIDS, and many other causes. We have continuously evolved, finding innovative ways to connect with our community and respond to their needs. With the generous support of our donors and the unwavering commitment of our Board members and volunteers, we are growing and adapting to serve our community better.

 

This year, we have embraced new initiatives, introducing educational components in our annual events while continuing our cherished traditions, such as the Walk to Remember/Wave of Light Remembrance and Parents' Day. We offer monthly informational videos and in-person support workshops, and we organized a holiday train ride on the Strasburg Railroad alongside our Angel Tree to honor our angel babies. In partnership with Charles F. Snyder Funeral Home, we provide burial options for families every other month. To date, over 11,500 babies have found their rest at St. Joseph’s Cemetery, and we offer all these services at no cost to our community.

 

We work hard to match people and dogs to form a successful partnership and follow each team for the working life of the dog and through the dog’s retirement. Whether our assistance dogs are retrieving dropped items or helping their partner navigate a crowded store, they’re assisting their partners to live full, rich, meaningful lives.

Our mission is to help those families who have experienced a pregnancy or fetal/neonatal loss by providing not only a sanctuary to go in order to grieve, but also a place to heal and find a path. We hope to break the silence about fetal/neonatal loss and collaborate with others to help provide resources so that families do not need to walk alone.

 

We offer family afternoons at the ballpark for a game at no cost. We also provide over 50 books to local hospitals and three months of therapy sessions for families as they begin their journey towards healing and hope.

 

We have continued to establish partnerships with local businesses, including Chestnut Ridge Honey, SolidWerks, Miranda Eorio Photography, and Kammi’s Kreations, to provide memorial services for families experiencing loss. We are in the process of developing a sound studio designed to host guest podcasts, facilitate online discussions, and accommodate filming projects for our community. We are also excited to announce new collaborations with alternative therapy providers, offering support options such as journaling, yoga, and massage therapy. Recently, we successfully conducted our inaugural Perinatal Bereavement and Palliative Care Conference, which provided attendees with the opportunity to earn continuing education credits.

Mission: To empower all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as caring, responsible, and productive citizens.

Since our inception, our mission has focused on providing youth with a safe and positive place to spend their out-of-school time. Each day, we provide youth with academic support, mentorship, and enriching experiences that help them build confidence, develop skills, and reach their full potential.
