Lee County Canned Food Drive!

During the months of November and December, Lee County's 4-H group hosted a canned food drive for the holidays.  With the combined help of the individual 4-H clubs, we were very successful in the amount of participation that the county gave and through collective efforts we were able to help those in need.  We teamed up with Oak Hammock Middle School in Fort Myers, FL to provide enough nonperishable food to feed fifteen families for a few solid months and make their holiday season a little brighter.  We had many families, 4-H members and Riverdale High School Spanish Honor Society kids there to help carry, sort and box the food on December 18, 2011.  There was also a generous donation that allowed the families to receive a turkey and presents for their children.  We want to continue working with Oak Hammock Middle School so that next year we will be able to bring even more smiles to the faces of the needy in our community.
