Support a sweet cause with March for Meals!

Join us at Scoop N Swirl on March 5th from 11:00 AM – 9:00 PM for a delicious way to give back. When you stop in for your favorite ice cream treat, a percentage of all sales will be donated directly to support our local Meals on Wheels nutrition program.

Every scoop helps provide nutritious meals and meaningful connection to seniors in our community. 

Thank you to Scoop N Swirl for partnering with us to make a difference—one swirl at a time!

Throughout the month of March we will hold fundraisers through restaurant partnership. When you eat out a percentage of the sales at specific restaurants will go towards the Sandy Meals on Wheels Program.

This is a festive decoration contest for our local businesses to show off their holiday spirit! The top three businesses, along with the coveted Mayor's Choice, will snag some awesome prizes and, of course, ultimate bragging rights!

Get Ready for Sandy’s 1st Annual Winterfest Holiday Market!
