Piper's Landing leads drive
for House of Hope

PRESS RELEASE DATE: DEC. 7, 2009

A “Holiday Sharing” drive by the Piper’s Landing Women’s Golf Association will go a long way toward helping House of Hope families this Christmas.

Two leaders of the association, Debbie Lovequist and Michelle Maguire, set up a festive Thanksgiving tree in the Piper’s Landing clubhouse. It was decorated with tags that members could fill out to provide a donation to House of Hope.

The little tree turned out to be a big success, as the drive – which lasted throughout November – raised $3,135. That will buy $25 Wal-Mart gift cards for 125 selected families so they can shop for food, toys, clothing or household items.

The Piper’s Landing Yacht & Country Club, in Palm City, is a year-round supporter of House of Hope.

House of Hope is a nonprofit agency that provides food, clothing, case management and emergency financial assistance to Martin County people in need. The agency is Martin County’s largest provider of food to the hungry, and serves as a safety net for thousands of families, working people and senior citizens who are struggling through hard times.
