SHARING, INC was founded in 1977 by Dorothy Landvater, author of "DAVID". The book recounts the true story of her Fourth son's catastrophic car accident, his head injuries, and his rehabilitation. Dorothy realized that many handicapped adults lacked things to do, places to go and feel "accepted" in our society. Therefore, she made an appeal through the New Jersey newspapers asking disabled to respond if they would like to become involved in a new organization for and by disabled. SHARING INC. became a reality in 1978. The SHARING LOGO was designed by a volunteer, disabled artist. It is a circle of love with two hands (disabled and non-disabled) reaching out to each other.
