Saturday, Feb. 10, 2024, is the 16th annual Shop & Share event: A one-day, statewide fundraiser where shoppers are asked to SHOP for what they need and SHARE an item with their local domestic violence program.

Over the 15 events that have taken place, more than $5 million in goods and monetary donations have been raised for the 15 domestic violence shelter programs that make up the Kentucky’s domestic violence coalition, ZeroV. Partners include the Governor and First Lady’s offices; Kroger; and Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana.
Goods donated during Shop & Share allow ZeroV programs, like Sanctuary, Inc., to use their budgets to continue providing services to the men, women and children in Kentucky who seek assistance in rebuilding their lives free from abuse.
