Community Cooperative is collaborating with the Boys & Girls Club of Lee County to host two new Pop-Up Mobile Food Pantries to provide emergency groceries to individuals and families in need. The Mobile Food Pantries will take place on Friday, November 7th, from 4:30 PM – 5:30 PM at Boys and Girls Club (1633 Joust Street, Fort Myers (located in the Renaissance Preserve Community) and on Monday, November 10th, from 5:00PM- 6:00PM at Boys and Girls Club (1900 Park Meadow Drive, Fort Myers).

This initiative aims to support community members experiencing food insecurity by offering essential grocery items at no cost. No pre-registration is required, but attendees must bring a government-issued ID to receive assistance.

“Together with Community Cooperative, we’re feeding families and strengthening our community,” said Denise Grefley, CEO of Boys & Girls Club of Lee County. “This partnership shows what’s possible when we work together to make a difference.”

“We know that many families in our community are facing tough times right now, especially with the impacts of the current government shutdown,” said Stefanie Ink Edwards, CEO of Community Cooperative. “This collaboration couldn’t have come at a better time for people in need here in Southwest Florida.”
Community members are encouraged to spread the word to reach as many families as possible.
