I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation to FISH, CFI and the Sanibel Captiva Chamber for awarding my small floral business, Florabel, a grant from the Sanibel-Captiva Recovery Fund. From replanting my raised garden beds (for growing local flowers used in my floral designs), to installing a floral cooler, the grant will enable me to continue forward growing Florabel and sharing the joy of flowers with our amazing community that has endured so much.
The Sanibel-Captiva Recovery Fund offers support to small businesses that have suffered economically from the impact of Hurricanes Helene and/or Milton. Gifts are distributed based on need for independently owned business (average of $5,000 as funds allow). This program is in partnership with the Charitable Foundation of the Islands and the Sanibel Captiva Chamber.
