*EVENT HAS PASSED*
Macaroni KID Fort Myers - Fort Myers Beach is excited to announce that we will be hosting a Drive, “For The Kids – The Joy of Giving.” We will be partnering with a few businesses in the Fort Myers – Fort Myers Beach area to provide something useful for children in our very own community that are in need of a little help. There are so many families in the area who do not have the resources that others have, and we want to help them thrive. We hope that every student can start the 2022-2023 school year with a bang, having the tools they need to succeed
Macaroni KID Fort Myers - Fort Myers Beach is requesting donations of financial support, gift cards, backpacks, school supplies, books, socks, and other essentials (i.e. hygienic products) for children in need. You will be able to physically drop off items for the kids between June 16th, 2022 and July 24th, 2022 to the locations listed below.
