I would like to thank Heart of Hamptons for personally helping me and my family, including my pet. I’m so blessed to have local businesses, farmers and local donors for all their help. This wouldn’t happen without our dedicated volunteers, especially our youngsters who are out there raising money to help our community.
Looking forward to our very much needed new location coming soon. Special thanks to former Executive Director Hilton Crosby for all your help, and new Executive Director Molly Bishop.
God bless!
