2023 Back to School Brigade
A special thank you to everyone who helped make this year's Back-to-School Brigade a success!!
We could not have done it without the generous support of the many islanders and corporate sponsors who donated, and the many organizations who joined us for the day. Participating organizations included the Matlacha/Pine Island Fire Department, Lee County Sheriff's Response Unit, Beacon of Hope, Pine Island Food Pantry, and Samaritan Health & Wellness Clinic.
Nearly 200 children received clothing, backpacks, school supplies, gift cards and personal care products to get their school year off to a great start. Many also took advantage of the opportunity for vital health checks, and a yummy visit to the Community Outreach ice cream truck.
