Covid-19 Response: Mt. Olive AME Church Weekly Food Drive (Dunbar Community, Fort Myers, FL)

Epsilon Nu Boule Foundation partnered with three leading Lee County organizations to expand food distribution support to the growing number of Lee County individuals and families suffering from the economic downturn caused by COVID-19 in 2020 and 2021. The partnership was initiated and was financially supported by Epsilon Nu Boule Foundation. Additional participants included Mount Olive AME Church, St. Matthew’s House, and Midwest Food Bank.

Hurricane Ian Relief Fund Response (2022-2023):

When Hurricane Ian hit Southwest Florida on September 28, 2022, the storm surge caused catastrophic damage to Harlem Heights, a low-income neighborhood in Fort Myers. Residents lost their homes, their vehicles, and their jobs.

Harlem Heights was originally settled as a rural agricultural community. The poverty rate for children in Harlem Heights is more than twice the county average, with family income 40% below the county average.

The Epsilon Nu Boule Foundation of Southwest Florida provided funds for 40 Harlem Heights families to receive appliance packages to replace those lost in the storm.

“We are so grateful for the support of The Epsilon Nu Boule Foundation,” said Kathryn Kelly, CEO of The Heights Foundation/The Heights Center. “Their generous donation means 40 families can return to their homes.”

To date, nearly 5,000 volunteers have contributed almost 200,000 hours to rebuild the homes in Harlem Heights, with an estimated volunteer labor cost of almost $5 million. The Heights Foundation’s goal was to have all of the residents of the 173 severely damaged residences back in their homes by Christmas. They were successful and we were proud to contribute.
