They serve over 1,000 meals in a day at times of the busier times of the year. I've volunteered here and the staff are wonderful to work with. If you have a voucher from the Department of Children and Families, you can get a voucher from them to go here and pick up groceries. Last they have meals on wheels and mobile food pantries that drive various routes throughout the county to distribute food to those in need.

I volunteered as a server for the soup kitchen at Community Cooperative. If you're interested in a volunteer opportunity, this would be a great place to get involved. Our group prepped food to serve those in need. Additionally, we helped the kitchen staff prepare food for Meals on Wheels and for lunches going to disadvantaged schools. Everything we made and gave away was extremely fresh and tasty! In addition to serving the hot food, the kitchen staff gave away milk, bread, and pastries from Publix. The picture shows all of the bread made available to those in need.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

I've just become homeless for the first time and I have a dog that is like my child and I couldn't live without him are there any places that help people in my position?

John Skrivan | Sep 6, 2019
Anna Thomas | Sep 6, 2019

Here in Ft. Myers you can go to the Mission on MLK by the flea market. They will not allow the dog to be with you. Another choice is Salus care on Evans. Still the same. No pets allowed. The Mission requires you to get up and go at 5 am after breakfast to find a job. Very limited help here. Maybe someone can care for your dog through the transition?
