⚠️ Today is the last day for the hygiene stations located at Jim Jeffers Park and Cape Coral Technical College. If you have laundry at these locations please pick it up before 7:00 pm today. We will be reaching out by phone to individuals who still have laundry at these sites.

It's #FirePreventionWeek . #Smokealarms & #carbonmonoxide detectors save lives, but many people live in homes without them. Hundreds of people die from unintentional exposure to CO & thousands more die in house fires where there are no working smoke alarms. youtu.be/BceUbTNcaGs

Tom Kramer has a locksmith company, Kramer’s Kutting Edge, on Bokeelia where he provides services to all Pine Island residents. Tom is ready to help his fellow Pine Islanders after the devastating effects of #HurricaneIan . Thank you for your kindness, Tom!
