Real Stories, Real Impact
We are grateful for the kind words and positive feedback from the families and community members who have experienced the impact of Sandhills Friends. Their stories inspire us and remind us of the importance of fostering connection, growth, and support within our community.
A Community of Belonging
Sandhills friends welcomed me and 1 year old, and now 3 and one year old into the fold seamlessly. Showing up to events does not trigger my social anxiety, as everyone is there to connect, seek opportunities for their children, and put them first. The social skills, learning and interests catered to our girls has given them memories that they still talk about years later. From farms, to fire stations, to playgrounds, the group has given us fun-filled mornings and fast friends every time. Adrienne is the glue of the group and when mentioned around town is the connective tissue for so many caregivers who all have ties back to Sandhills Friends Group. We are forever grateful for her and this group.

A Community of Belonging
I am beyond grateful to Adrienne for opening her heart and connecting me and my family to this amazing group! As we have transitioned from our home in NYC to creating a new life and laying down roots in the Sandhills area, I feel so fortunate to know that I already have a group of beautiful friends for my daughter, husband and myself. We felt included and supported before we even moved here, thanks to Adrienne and this group. Through the events and resources provided here, we have grown to know the area better each day and immerse ourselves in all that the Sandhills has to offer, while building friendships and making memories. It truly warms my heart to have found such a welcoming, vibrant community! We look forward to growing together with you all!

Incredible Support
Oh wow where do I start? Sandhills Friends Group has been a WONDERFUL outlet for me the last 2 years as a caregiver! It is not only educational and fun, but also the sense of community that we have is something that can’t be beat! Socialization is not something that you always have in private care. But it is SO IMPORTANT to find outlets such as this group. I will forever be thankful for Adrienne many others who make these events happen for the children. They create memories that last forever and friendships too! Thank you Sandills Friends for being my outlet!

One-of-a-Kind Group
I discovered Sandhills Friends shortly after I became a Mama, and let me tell you what a gift this group has been. From being understood, included, and involved this group enriched our lives. I am a solo parent and not only did my daughter enjoy the activities, I received much needed adult conversation. This group is one of a kind and promotes kindness and acceptance of everyone.

Nurturing Growth
The Sandhills Friends group has been a wonderful outlet for my child and I to meet others and explore our community. It’s inclusive and has been a great way to get to know other parents and children in our area. There are support groups, community service projects, park meetups, field trips, and more.

Supportive Network
Sandhills Friends is an incredibly meaningful and positive fixture of support within our community and beyond. Activities and experiences are carefully curated by an occupational therapist to bring each stage of child development to the forefront. As a special educator, I consider this resource to be invaluable in assisting families to promote a healthy well-being and strong foundation for their child! It’s essentially a community directory specifically designed for your family’s needs- what’s not to love?!
