What does Sandcastles do with donations?
SandCastles focuses all donations on the people who need it most: the children and families in our community. Your gift will help us provide activity supplies for children’s groups, pizza dinners for the families at our weekly program nights, supportive special events for our families, crucial education for volunteer facilitators, unique camp experiences, educational presentations for community groups and schools, and so much more. Because SandCastles is a 501(c)3 organization, your gift is tax-deductible.
