Overview

Have you ever been caught in the rain without an umbrella?

Share The Love (STL) was started with one girl’s desire to make a difference in her community. During a rainy day in South Florida, she found herself and a few others caught out in the rain while waiting for the bus. She was surprised when a stranger offered her an extra umbrella. Amazed by this act of kindness, she was inspired to “Share The Love” by carrying an extra umbrella with her in case someone else was in need on a rainy day. Sure enough the rain came and she saw many people caught in the rain with no umbrellas. She then realized that she could not help everyone on her own. However, with the help of other kind hearted individuals she could truly make a difference. That is how STL got started and now we want to bring our concept to the community. Our goal is to get people to start carrying an extra STL umbrella with them in an effort to extend an open arm to someone in need on a rainy day. ☂
