HERITAGE PALMS CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION (HPCO) MEMBERS. L-R: MIRIAM SHOOK, BARBARA GREGG, AND ANDI STERN.
Volunteers play an important role in the life of HP and in the greater Fort Myers region. On Monday, November 4, 20+ local non-profit organizations came to the Palms Dining Room to showcase their volunteer opportunities. This was the 4th Volunteer Fair hosted by the HP Community Relations Committee (CRC), chaired by Maryanne Preston and her energetic committee.
You can make a difference, and there are many opportunities: sorting and packing cans at local food banks; sharing your business acumen with local small businesses; ushering at arts events; reading stories or sewing blankets for little ones; or comforting the elderly, sick, disabled, and the needy.
If you missed our Volunteer Fair, you can access a list of Volunteer Opportunities at non- profits in the Fort Myers area, as well as contacts for same, on our website: https://www. hpgcc.com>Community>ResourceCenter>Volunteer Opportunities.
