We accomplished another huge task ✂️ 🎁 We wrapped gifts for 14 families totaling 45 children 👏🏻 Our wrappers worked so hard! It’s not just sitting around cutting cute paper (although we had a lot of cute paper🎄). It takes alot of labor…load the trailer, haul the trailer, unload the trailer, heavy lifting, bending, more heavy lifting, sorting, wrapping, labeling & reloading it all. If emojis could describe last night it would be 🫶🏻 🎁 🕓📣☑️🤯❤️📝🥵🫣💪🏻🛍️⏳📞🛻💪🏻😭🎄🤦🏻‍♀️✂️🍕😂 🥰🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 I only took a few pictures, I wish I had more but we stayed non stop busy! THANK YOU to our volunteers, that pulled this off ❤️❤️❤️

Did you know the North Fort Myers Fire District partners with Animal Services to help reunite lost pets with their families?

If you find a stray pet, you can bring them to any of the following fire stations between 7 AM and 7 PM to be scanned for a microchip:

📍 Station 1: 2900 Trail Dairy Circle, North Fort Myers
📍 Station 2: 1280 Barrett Road, North Fort Myers
📍 Station 3: 16290 Slater Road, North Fort Myers

Each station is equipped with universal microchip scanners capable of detecting all chip types, helping pets get home quickly and safely.
