This year in Lee County, there are approximately 3,400 people without a place to call a home. To help raise funds and awareness to end homelessness, the Lee County Homeless Coalition invites the community to its Seventeenth Annual Benefit Dinner and Silent Auction Friday, Oct. 7, at the Crowne Plaza located at 13051 Bell Tower Drive in Fort Myers.

The event runs foam 6-10 p.m.

Tickets are $85 for coalition members and $95 for future members. Sponsorship opportunities ranging from $400 to $2,500 include tickets and recognition at the event. In addition, members of the community can help the Lee County Homeless Coalition by donating items for the silent auction. If individuals or organizations would like to donate a gift basket or other donation, please complete a silent auction form. Proceeds from the dinner support the Coalition’s mission to benefit those experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness.

The Lee County Homeless Coalition is a nonprofit organization comprised of community and faith-based service providers, local businesses, people who are currently experiencing or who have experienced homelessness, and other advocates committed to ending functional homelessness. The Coalition’s mission is to advocate, educate and promote awareness of issues and obstacles facing homeless individuals in Lee County through community collaboration, planning, and implementing solutions.
