FORT MYERS, Fla. (June 16, 2025) – Sanibel Captiva Community Bank has donated $1,000 to FMB Strong to support its ongoing work helping residents and workers of Fort Myers Beach recover from Hurricanes Ian, Helene and Milton. In addition to serving Fort Myers Beach residents, FMB Strong plays a critical role in supporting the island’s workforce, many of whom continue to face housing, food and resource instability.
FMB Strong offers a wide range of critical support services beyond food assistance, including housing navigation, healthcare guidance and access to social service programs. In response to recent storms, the organization has seen a 300% surge in community need.
“FMB Strong continues to show up for Fort Myers Beach, and we’re proud to stand with them,” said Amy McQuagge, vice president and director of marketing for Sanibel Captiva Community Bank. “With our next full-service branch being built on Fort Myers Beach, this support reflects our long-term commitment to the Fort Myers Beach community.”
FMB Strong is a nonprofit organization founded by Hurricane Ian survivors, dedicated to supporting the Fort Myers Beach community and beyond. They provide much-needed supplies through food pantry donations and serve as a vital resource for connecting people with essential social services, offering support not just in the aftermath of a disaster, but in the ongoing challenges of daily life.
