Volunteers often bring fresh ideas and heartfelt dedication to their communities. One such example is Sandy Sikkema, a volunteer with The By Name Project, who took the initiative to support seniors in a meaningful way. Sandy’s idea to set up a donation box in the senior section of the Sumter YMCA has made a real difference, collecting a generous amount of hygiene products and essentials. This post highlights her inspiring spirit and the impact of her selfless actions.

The Heart 2 Heart Community Fair brought people together in Sumter for a meaningful cause: raising awareness about preventing child abuse and promoting children’s safety.

From all of us at The By Name Project, we want to express our sincere gratitude to Frierson Farms for their generous support. Their kindness in placing a donation bucket in their store has made a meaningful difference for our community. This unexpected gesture not only helps our mission but also highlights the spirit of giving that thrives in local businesses like Frierson Farms.

Thank you so much Neil and Jason with Bethesda Church! Helping get our garden plots ready to plant!
