CAPE CORAL CARING
CENTER
The Cape
Coral Caring Center is a Not-for-Profit Agency providing
food and utility assistance to the needy of Cape Coral.
Supported by churches, clubs, organizations and individuals
providing food and cash. In
2024 at the Center, members helped over 4,000
families and distributed more than a staggering 250,000
pounds of food.
Gold Coast Estates is continuing our partnership with the Cape Coral Caring Center. They do great work for the less fortunate in our town and are always in need of food items. It is 100% voluntary, but if you can spare an item or two of non-perishable food, please bring along.
Remember, every dollar donated has a multiplier where the Caring Center can buy 8 times as much food as a donation of food, so all donations of any size are greatly appreciated and are tax deductible.
At our "Flings" and "Happy Hours" we will have a “Cape Coral Caring Center” donation box near the registration table.
