How Unity of Fort Myers Supports the Community
Where our Titles Go - most recent to past
February: Lee Neighbors Villas https://LeeNeighbors.org
Their purpose is to help people in the community age authentically and cost effectively. They meet and present a variety of programs on our campus regularly.
February: Villas Wesleyan Church - Sanctuary Fire, Valentine’s Evening https:VillasWesleyan.org
We understand what it is like to have a fire in your church home. They suffered substantial damage. The flames were coming through the roof in the center of their sanctuary and the roof caved in. Like us, fortunately a neighbor spotted the smoke and called the fire department. No one was in the Sanctuary and no one was physically hurt, but we do know the emotional hurt they are experiencing. Fortunately, they have a fellowship hall right next to their Sanctuary and they set it up with chairs so they could hold their services there this Sunday. Like us they are resilient. We do want to hold them in prayer, but I feel that a donation from us would have meaning to us and to them.
January: Tim Tebow Foundaton https://timtebowfoundation.org/
We fight for the MVP - Most Vulnerable People around the world, living in chaos and crisis. Our Mission is to bring faith, hope and love to those needing a brighter day in their darkest hour of need.
Our heart is to love Jesus and to love people. Our four main areas of focus are: Anti-human trafficking, Child exploitation, Orphan care + Prevention, Profound Medical needs ad Special needs ministry.
January: Foster Grandparent Program Volunteers – Dr Piper Center for Social Services
https://www.drpipercenter.org/
The Foster Grandparents program is a unique, multigenerational opportunity
for community involvement. Our Foster grandparents are senior volunteers
who enrich the lives of at-risk and special needs children by sharing love,
experience, and wisdom. The heart of the program is one-on-one attention
provided by our volunteers in an educational, after school, or summer camp
setting. This program gives our senior volunteers a renewed sense of purpose, while
helping troubled children develop skills, confidence, and strength of
character. Foster Grandparents are asked to provide 10-20 hours of volunteer service
per week. Volunteers who meet income and eligibility requirements receive a
modest, tax-free stipend, transportation allowance, and an annual physical
