Community Cooperative’s Year-End Giving: A Gift of Hope for Our Most Vulnerable Neighbors 

FORT MYERS, Fla. (December 30, 2024) – As the year comes to an end, Community Cooperative invites you to make a meaningful impact through year-end giving. In Southwest Florida, there are those among us who face daily struggles—individuals experiencing homelessness, families fighting to make ends meet, and seniors who often go without. With your generosity, Community Cooperative ensures that no one is left behind, providing support to those who need it most. 

Your year-end donation helps provide essential resources to our most vulnerable neighbors. Through programs like Meals on Wheels, Mobile Food Pantry, the Community Market, Sam’s Community Café & Kitchen, and Social Services & Education, Community Cooperative offers more than just food and shelter. It provides hope, dignity, and the promise of a brighter future. 

“Every gift, no matter the size, has a profound impact,” said Stefanie Ink Edwards, Chief Executive Officer of Community Cooperative. “Your support helps provide meals, comfort, and stability to those who need it most. Together, we can make sure that the most vulnerable in our community feel seen, cared for, and supported.” 

Community Cooperative asks for your help to bring joy, warmth, and care to those who need it most. The postmark deadline for donations is December 31st to provide you with the tax-deductible benefit for 2024—your timely contribution ensures that our neighbors can continue receiving the support they rely on, especially as we step into the New Year.  

Community Cooperative is deeply grateful for the kindness and compassion shown by the Southwest Florida community. With your continued support, we can bring hope to even more individuals and families in the year ahead.
