The great success of Operation Hamper - Age Concern

Operation Hamper began as a small goodwill gesture, but with the help of all parts of the community has grown in size and become a great success. Local schools, Parish Halls, businesses, volunteers of Age Concern, Sandpiper staff and not forgetting our loyal Sandpiper customers have come together and given generously to the cause. Every item transported to the storage base was date checked, sorted and accounted for with great coordination and organisation. The work involved was exhausting but the rewards have been fantastic.
Local business, Government buildings and associations have given informative information leaflets which will compile together as an information pack for each hamper.
Sandpiper wanted to provide 200 food hampers to the elderly in our community to assist in stocking up their food cupboards over the festive period. What transpired has been phenomenal. On the 13th December it all came to a close and after 13 long hours the final hamper was packed and ready for delivery. Over 200 luxury food hampers were out on the roads to be delivered by Age Concern Jersey on the14th December. Daphne Minihane of Age Concern has organised the hampers to go to those names given to her by Doctors, Connétables, Family Nursing Services & Meals on Wheels to name a few. There are many elderly people in our community who are not receivers of goodwill at Christmas and this will help in some way for them to enjoy the festive season. The community has certainly pulled together with this venture and shown their generosity. As a result it has been planned for Sandpiper to provide hampers again next year. We thank everyone who took time in helping such a great cause.
