🥜🍇 The results are in!

A huge thank you to everyone who participated in our Spread the Love Competition Peanut Butter & Jelly Drive. Thanks to your generosity, thousands of sandwiches—and smiles—will be possible for local children and families this summer.

Congratulations to our category winners:
🏆Business Category: Real Tours
🏆Church Category: Gateway Trinity Lutheran Church
🏆School Category: Evangelical Christian School
🏆Large Community Category: Pelican Preserve
🏆Small Community Category: Pointe Royale Condos

While school is out, hunger isn't. For many children, summer means losing access to the meals they rely on during the school year. Donations like yours help us fill the gap and ensure local kids have access to nutritious food when they need it most.

Thank you for helping us spread the love and fight summer hunger in Southwest Florida! 💛

Cereal donations are rolling in! Keep up the good work! 🥣✨

Thank you to everyone who has donated so far. Cereal is a simple but important staple, offering a convenient and nutritious breakfast option for children and families facing food insecurity.

Need an easy way to help? Watch for BOGO specials, stock up during sales, or add an extra box to your cart on your next shopping trip. Small donations add up to big impact for local families in need.
