FISH, partners collecting holiday donations
Now through April 11, FISH of Sanibel-Captiva and its community partners are collecting new unwrapped toys for children ages 0-18 and traditional holiday meal essentials for its Easter Bunny Basket and Food Drive.
Suggested gifts include small toys, candy, coloring books, crayons, keychains, hair accessories, stress balls, mugs and more. Easter meal needs include fresh vegetables, side dishes, garnishes, rolls and other holiday fixings. This year, FISH hopes to provide more than 250 households with Easter cheer.
“The heart of our community shines brightest in moments like these,” Executive Director Maria Espinoza said. “Our generous partners and donors make it possible for every child to feel the magic of Easter morning and every family to share a special holiday meal together.”
Donations can be dropped off at FISH and the following community partners: Bank of the Islands, Chocolattes, CVS, the Sanibel & Captiva Islands Association of Realtors and Sanibel Public Library.
The distribution will take place on April 15-17 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 2422 Periwinkle Way, Sanibel. Distribution will be on a first come, first served basis.
If you or someone you know could use a helping hand for the holiday, contact FISH at 239-472-4775 or merari@fishofsancap.org.
