FORT MYERS, Fla. (March 18, 2024) – Through April 5, all Sanibel Captiva Community Bank branches are donation drop-off locations to benefit the PACE Center for Girls of Lee County’s Point Store. New items including clothing, jewelry, makeup and hair products, stuffed animals, pajamas, fuzzy socks, bedroom decor, art supplies and gift cards are being collected to stock PACE’s Point Store.
The Point Store is a critical component of PACE’s positive behavior system used to motivate, encourage and celebrate the good things students are doing at school and home and in the community. Yearround, the girls earn points by achieving good grades, behavior and attendance.
