Fort Myers Charities News and Notes

 More often than not, when an individual or group of individuals, make a  conscious decision to do something to help others, or their community, they will do so anonymously or at least as quietly as possible.  That can make it rather difficult to gather information for this blog while it is still "actual" news.  With this in mind I have worked hard over the past several years to build a network of sources of information regarding groups, businesses, and individuals that serve as an example of what serving your community looks like.  Many thanks to the friends, family, and connections that keep my inbox overflowing like a fountain of hope and positivism!
