FORT MYERS, Fla. — Today you can help those in need of food in Southwest Florida. This is the 11th year for Pushing the Envelope’s annual CAN IT! food drive.
The Fort Myers-based strategic marketing communication firm has teamed up with Community Cooperative once again to help relieve hunger in Southwest Florida.
The goal is to collect 25 hundred food items to help area families for Thanksgiving.
