A Bit of Bailey’s and The Island Store, longstanding local businesses on Sanibel and Captiva, are partnering with FISH of SanCap to help address food insecurity in the community. Through regular donations of food and products to the FISH Food Pantry, they support island residents and workers while reducing food waste. Their contributions, along with those from other local partners, help keep the pantry stocked with fresh produce, pantry staples, and household essentials for those in need.
Food insecurity remains a significant issue in Lee County, with recent data showing high rates among residents and children. FISH’s food assistance programs—including the pantry, Youth Backpack Program, Meals-by-FISH, holiday support, and emergency food aid—play a vital role in meeting these needs. A Bit of Bailey’s and The Island Store have supported FISH for years through food drives, event catering, and fundraising support, strengthening the organization’s ability to serve the community. The press release highlights the importance of these partnerships in addressing hunger and supporting the well-being of Sanibel and Captiva’s residents.
