How It Works

 

Each December, Sandpipers, often with their own families, shop for and distribute baskets (more like car-loads!) filled to the brim with household necessities, personal care items, clothing, and toys to “adopted” families in financial need.  The participating families are recommended by our agency partners after suffering true and recent economic hardships.

We are grateful to receive many donations of goods and funds from individuals and local corporate businesses that support this annual event. During Holiday Baskets’ distribution day community partners such as the Manhattan Beach Rotary Club, Manhattan Beach Amigos, Mira Costa High Interact Club, and Sandpiper Juniors come out and help the volunteers “adopting” a family to choose gifts and load their cars.

 

History of the Event

 

The Sandpipers Holiday Baskets program began almost a century ago when our Founding members decided to make their mark on the South Bay community with a contribution of important household goods and toys for families in need.
