Safe Space
SafeSpace is much more than just a crisis hotline and an emergency shelter. It empowers victims to become survivors by providing an extensive array of other programs and services, including legal assistance, financial literacy training, emotional and mental health counseling, advocacy, community outreach, and prevention education.
Family Promise
Family Promise envisions a nation in which every family has a home, a livelihood, and the chance to build a better future. Our volunteers provide hospitality, companionship, and most importantly, community.

Charity Week is an institution at Mariner Sands. Bouquets to our friends and neighbors who enthusiastically support this week-long effort year after year. As I have witnessed firsthand, recipient charities are extremely grateful for our grants and make very good use of them.
Our fundraising does make a difference!

I was very impressed with the Little Lights Dentistry facility in Stuart when I visited last winter. But I was more impressed with the dedication and professionalism of the entire staff including the Executive Director, the staff dentist and all the personnel. They are addressing an important need for an underserved local population. Not only are they treating dental disease in children but also they are educating children and parents about proper nutrition and prevention of dental problems. Little Lights Dentistry is very deserving of our continued support.
