FRONT PORCH REALTYA great big THANK YOU to all of our terrific customers who supported us through the summer and in doing so supported the “Turn on the Tap” promotion we held in conjunction with Samaritan’s Purse. As well, another great big THANK YOU to all of those who felt led to bring in donations in support of this important cause. Because of everyone’s generosity, hundreds of people in developing countries will have clean water to drink for years to come.
Although our promotion for the summer is over, Samaritan’s Purse would be happy to receive donations for the “Turn on the Tap” program. Their toll-free number is 1-800-663-6500 and their website is www.turnonthetap.ca. Remember, for each $100 donated, Samaritan’s Purse can provide a BioSand water filter that will supply drinking water for 8-10 people for years to come.
We take our plentiful water supply for granted, but these people see it is a great gift. Thanks again!
Allen and Rod“The Porch Boys”
