Support those in need through City of Thomasville’s Project SHARE program

THOMASVILLE, Ga. – The Thomasville community has a history of supporting local organizations that assist our neighbors during times of need. Through a continued collaboration between the City of Thomasville and the Salvation Army of Thomasville, you can support those in need in our community through the Project SHARE program.

City of Thomasville Utilities customers can make a charitable donation through their monthly utility bill, with all contributions supporting the Project SHARE Program administered by the Salvation Army of Thomasville. This program assists local residents in need by helping cover essential expenses such as utilities, housing, and prescription medications.

“Project SHARE is all about neighbors helping neighbors,” stated Mark Parrillo, Managing Director of Customer Service. “In 2025, our customers donated over $12,000 to this program, providing the Salvation Army with additional funding to support our local community to assist with basic necessities during unexpected circumstances.”

Project SHARE began in 1985 as a statewide partnership between the Salvation Army and power companies and is one of the most successful privately funded utility assistance programs in the United States, providing more than $2 million in aid to more than 40,000 Georgians each year. Money collected stays in the county from which it originates, so the donations go to work in the local community. The City of Thomasville’s partnership with the Salvation Army of Thomasville began in 2010.

Customers interested in participating in Project SHARE can complete a contribution form online at Thomasville.org/ProjectShare or contact the City of Thomasville’s Customer Care team at (229) 227-7001.
