Did you know that there have been four soup kitchens opened in and around Hilton Head within the last year? Your local professional movers are glad to know that there are people in Hilton Head who are so kind-hearted that they choose to spend their free time volunteering to feed the homeless, less-fortunate, and otherwise hungry individuals who frequent local soup kitchens. Campbell Church Soup Kitchen opened last week in Bluffton, and is the first in the city. Other local soup kitchen operations include Grateful Hearts Soup Kitchen at Holy Family Catholic Church, St. Andrews By-the-Sea, and St. James Baptist Church Community Soup Kitchen. Crowds as large as one hundred people have been accommodated which brings a smile to your Hilton Head movers’ faces!

Your local moving professionals want you to know that Hilton Head puts the “FUN” into fundraisers! Relay for Life, a local organization that regularly holds all-night benefit events, has truly reinvented the way people raise money for a good cause! “Relay Rocks” is the pre-party to beat all pre-parties when it comes to raising funds for the Hilton Head Relay for Life event which will be held at the Island Rec Center on May fourth. For a flat fee, attendees of “Relay Rocks” events enjoy appetizers AND cocktails. “Relay Rocks” events occur somewhat frequently, and have raised as much as $800 dollars per night. The next “Relay Rocks” event takes place tomorrow evening, and will kick off at 5:30 at Applebee’s. Your Hilton Head movers hope that all party-goers have a lot of fun, and more importantly, stay safe!

High tides and strong wind in October have caused quite a bit of beachfront erosion here in Hilton Head, and on Thursday the island experienced the highest tide of 2011 at a whopping nine feet high! If you have recently completed moving to Hilton Head, the recent news of beach land erosion may worry you a bit, but in actuality erosion is a normal part of being a barrier island. Just as sand moves away due to erosion, sand also gathers due to the natural ebb and flow of the elements. In other Hilton Head news, the area known as our island’s heel will soon undergo operations to replenish beach land. Roughly one million cubic yards of sand will be added to the beach as soon as this week; special equipment will be moved to the island’s heel soon so that work may begin. The project should be finished on or before February 15th, and will be very advantageous considering that erosion of the island’s heel causes 100 feet or so of sand to move away each year. Barrier island life sure is interesting, isn’t it?
