A LITTLE BIT ABOUT US...
We take pride in our cause which is to help remove litter from our beaches and parks. All ages participate in one common goal which is to keep our beaches clean and safe from harmful debris . Florida's greatest treasure is its sandy white beaches and turquiose waters that illuminate in the warmth of the sun.
Our volunteers pick up litter that can be harmful and unsightly to the beaches habitat, its animals and its many beach going visitors. We believe education to this epidemic which has become our litter problem is key to accomplishing our goal of a litter free environment. The Sand Sifters also give back to the community by doing food drives, toy drives and giving back to the soldiers who are fighting for our beautiful country.
Become a volunteer and help keep our greatest asset beautiful and make a difference that really matters...help keep our environment clean.
