Adopt-A-Family Farewell

Mary and I would like to thank all of the Sandpiper Residents who have helped us this year and in all of the previous eight years. 
 
Through your generosity we have been able to assist 26 families comprised of 59 adults and 87 children.
We have spent well over $25,000 accomplishing this.
 
The long hours, many trips to the grocery store, Walmart, Dollar Store, looking for appliances at reasonable prices and the uncountable miles travelled to accomplish this has been overwhelming at times. But it has also been rewarding to see the smiling children and happy adults when the Sandpiper’s caravan arrived at the homes of these very deserving neighbors.
We are sure that the many people who helped us contributing money, time, auction items and use of their vehicles to deliver to the families a Christmas they will never forget, will have paid it forward in one way or another.
Mary and I have decided that the 2015 Adopt a Family program is our last. There will be no auction this winter.
 
 Once again thank you for all your help, support
and confidence in us over the last eight years.
 
Thanks
John & Mary
