 WATER COOL THING-In an effort to become more "Green", the Sand Sifters will now offer water to volunteers by using big water coolers instead of giving out water in plastic bottles.  In order to do our part we wanted to cut down in the consumption of plastic therefore using a reusable water container helps us do so and the cups provided contain less plastic and are recyclable.

 

Give a $5 Donation and receive a Sand Sifters cap or Tote Bag

The Sand Sifters are not a non-profit organization.  Donations are given but money also comes from the founding members pockets.  By donating $5 or more, you help the Sand Sifters  obtain supplies needed for clean ups and special events.  Your support is needed and would be greatly appreciated.  Help us keep our environment clean.

 

Caps  and Totes are only available at Sand Sifters cleanups.  Totes also come in 5 different colors. If you would like more information please e-mail us info@sandsifters.org
