FISH OF SANCAP will celebrate Valentine’s Day with community members by offering a week focused on Hearts & Health. During the week of Feb. 12, the organization will provide heart healthy products and additional fresh produce in their food pantry, 2422 Periwinkle Way. It’s open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday and 10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday.

The organization will connect with island youth to create Valentine’s Day cards, which will be distributed to seniors living in CHR and throughout the islands. Special Valentine’s Day treats will be provided at the food pantry.

“We’re looking forward to working with Sanibel School students, club members and other young islanders who are excited to bring joy to our older population,” said FISH Executive Director Maria Espinoza. “We want to remind seniors that they aren’t forgotten and that they have a loving, caring community of all ages looking after them.”

FISH encourages community members to stop by their food pantry, share the love and pick up heart healthy products for those in need in the community.

FISH offers something for everyone—if there is not a service in place for unmet needs of community members, they work to meet it through existing and new partnerships. Anyone in need of FISH services should call 239-472-4775.
