HILL Caring Neighbors news from Caring Neighbors

Submitted by Jane Phipps

Caring Neighbors is so grateful to have been chosen as one of the charities to benefit financially from the Rose Hill Polo Match held on April 2. Several of our Board members and volunteers were present to assist the organizers in making sure that everything proceeded smoothly on that day. At the same time, we had a display table to showcase what our organization offers to the senior population of Bluffton. We extend our sincerest appreciation to the sponsors of this event for including us as one of the beneficiaries!

We were also among the non-profit organizations to be approved by the Heritage Classic Foundation to participate in their Birdies for Charities program during the Boeing PGA Golf Tournament held in Harbour Town. We received 100% of the money pledged to us, plus an additional 20% from the Foundation. Flat donations given by check or credit card were also accepted so the combination of these choices has greatly helped us meet our financial obligations. We send our deepest gratitude to all who supported Caring Neighbors through this fundraiser!

In May we sponsored our 3rd Food Drive for our friends at Bluffton Self Help. Spring and summer are difficult months of the year for BSH as the donations received during the holiday season have been depleted. Also, as the school year draws to a close, needy children can no longer rely on free lunches and snacks offered in their schools which results in a higher demand for food items at BSH. Due to the generosity of so many members of our Rose Hill community, we were able to support this wonderful charity with non-perishable food to help them meet the needs of their clients.
