Better Together - Be the Light

239.470.2733

Facing life's storms is easier when love lights the way.

Better Together believes families can overcome a crisis when they have community support and resources.

This summer, while serving families through our Better Jobs and Better Families programs,
Better Together volunteers are bringing solar lights to families in neighborhoods hit hard by Hurricane Ian.

Better Together believes families can overcome a crisis when they have community support and resources.

This summer, while serving families through our Better Jobs and Better Families programs, Better Together volunteers are bringing solar lights to families in neighborhoods hit hard by Hurricane Ian.

As we knock on doors, sharing solar lights as part of our Be the Light campaign,
we hope to connect to families who can use our help.

More Light!

The durable, adjustable MPOWERD lights last up to 12 hours on a single charge.

In the News

At our first Be the Light event, staff and volunteers shared 300+ solar lights to more than 100 households in the Harlem Heights neighborhood of South Fort Myers.

Thank you WGCU for highlighting our efforts!

Together, we guide families through life’s storms every day.

Our partners are virtual lighthouses.

Vetted and background-checked Host Families care for children in their home short term.
Family Advocates light the way with guidance and encouragement.
Job Coaches do the same for job seekers.
Resource Volunteers shine their light by bringing meals to families or delivering diapers or other needs.
Community Partners are a beacon for families in need of our services, connecting the hurting to the helping.
Our Church Partners provide many of those helpers, volunteers we depend on every day to come alongside families in their most desperate hour.

Every person connected to Better Together is a light in someone else’s life.

We need your light!

While a donation of $100 a month covers the cost of our program keeping a child from going into foster care, every dollar helps. Together, we can keep families together and strengthen our communities.
