Many thanks to all who donated hygiene or food items on behalf of the VA Clinic in Cape Coral. We were able to put together 60 very full survival packs with 4 bins of other food/hygiene donations to take to the clinic as well!
We are also grateful to all who helped purchase wreaths for the graves of veterans being honored at a wreath laying ceremony. We collected enough to purchase 25 wreaths! *All are invited to attend this ceremony on December 17, 2022 at 12:00pm at Marco Island Cemetery, 489 W Elkcam Circle, Marco Island.
