The First Presbyterian Church of Fort Myers, located at 2438 Second Street in downtown Fort Myers, is hosting "A Midsummer's Night's Sing" to benefit CCMI's soup kitchen. The concert, sponsored by the Galloway Family of Dealerships, will be held on Tuesday July 27, 2010 with doors opening at 6:30 p.m.. Admission is a voluntary cash donation and at least 2 cans of non-perishable food (the more the better).

Rev. Paul deJong is urging attendee's to help those in need, saying ... "Ladies and gentlemen, we desperately need your help. The need for food is absolutely critical this year. Please love your fellow neighbor and attempt to do what God would do and want you to do ... There is great uncertainty now as to what the future holds, so we need to be prepared to feed those most in need in the event of a disaster ..."

Organizer Sam Galloway Jr. added ... "Rising unemployment and the continued downward spiral in our local economy has caused many of our neighbors to ask for food to feed their families for the first time in their lives ... We can't allow our neighbors and friends to be hungry. Please, we need our community to get together and help with all the canned goods they can!"

Sarah Owen, the CEO of CCMI said "There is a whole middle class portion of our community who are now food insecure but we are not reaching them either because of the stigma attached to the traditional soup kitchen or our services are not available when and where they can easily access them" she went on to say "Free Food Fridays is our gateway to not only provide food to those who need it, but more importantly, empower them with tools for long term sustainability!"
