Monthly Spotlight

JUNE 2026
In May we partnered up with GL Homes to provide a new playground for the families in our transitional housing community in Golden Gate. The ribbon-cutting occurred on May 13, and since then, the playground has been full of laughter and cheer as more than 50 children now have a safe space to play while their parents continue their journey back to self-sufficiency.

“It’s really a big help knowing that I’ll be able to come pick up a box of food.”

For neighbors like Eric, access to food isn’t guaranteed—it’s life-changing. And as Suzie reminds us, even a small gift can make a big impact when it’s given with heart. 💛

During our Summer Match Campaign, your generosity goes twice as far. Every dollar you give will be doubled—providing more meals, more support, and more hope to those who need it most.

Give today and help us multiply the impact! Link in bio.

Nearly 152,000 of our neighbors in Southwest Florida are facing food insecurity—that’s families, children, and seniors who don’t know where their next meal will come from.
