Philanthropy Mid-Year Update COMMUNITY OUTREACH DAY OF SERVICE PROJECTS Each year, our Community Outreach committee organizes hands-on projects for our members. This fall, we partnered with Exceptional Children’s Foundation Art Center San Pedro to clean up and beautify their front entrance. Over the two day project, 14 Sandpiper volunteers helped clean up their three front garden beds to make the space more inviting. They painted the wall and creatively used 8 recycled tires as planters. Drought-tolerant succulents were planted so they would last throughout the year and brighten up the space for years to come! This Spring the Community Outreach Committee worked with agency partner Cancer Support Community South Bay (CSCSB) to decorate their kids/teens room. Sandpipers painted the room, decorated the space using an animal and jungle theme, and made puppets for the kids to play with. CSCSB expressed, “from the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making this space feel comfortable and special for our kids who have been affected by cancer.”
ANNUAL BEACH CLEAN UP This September, over 20 members and their families participated in Heal the Bay’s Coastal Clean-up Day. Volunteers picked up more than 200 pounds of trash from Lunda Bay in Palos Verdes.
