From Florida-
Fewer people will be going home hungry next year in south Fort Myers.
A coalition of 15 local churches, organized to feed the hungry, broke ground on a 1,200-square-foot pantry Sunday at Cypress Lake Presbyterian Church. The pantry, which will replace the 8-by-40-foot container the South Fort Myers Food Pantry Coalition has used to feed more than 40,000 people for the past three years, is set to be completed May 1.
Cypress Lake Presbyterian Church is funding the $469,000 project for the new 3,200-square-foot facility, which will include the pantry that distributed more than 1 million pounds of food last year. The expansion will allow the hungry to walk through the pantry and select fresh vegetables and frozen meats from shelves and tables.
