Presented by the Charitable Foundation of the Islands (CFI) and powered by the Pfeifer Realty Group, the Volunteer Expo offers community members interested in contributing their talents to engage with over 40 Sanibel and Captiva community groups and organizations. The expo will run from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Sanibel Community House.
“We are thrilled to host over 45 community groups and organizations to help our community get inspired and engaged to give back,” said Dolly Farrell, CFI Executive Director. Those who attend will be able to speak with organization representatives to determine if a particular group’s goals match their interests. The first 500 attendees will receive swag bags. This family-friendly event includes activities for children including coloring stations and photo booths. Participants who register online in advance will be provided a raffle ticket to win door prizes.
