More than 30 different schools and organizations throughout Collier County received an invitation to pick up the supplies, followed by Family Night where families of Club members were given bags full of supplies. For some schools and organizations that could not pick up their supplies, Club members personally delivered them to their locations.
“We are extremely grateful to Publix and its customers for their generosity,” said Paul
