Help Us Keep the Spirit of Community Alive!

Ubuntu Spirit, Inc., a pillar of compassion in Downtown Fort Myers, needs your support. We are raising $35,000 to purchase and equip a community food truck—a mobile outreach unit that will expand our ability to deliver hot meals and essential supplies directly to neighborhoods in need.

This vehicle will allow Ubuntu to reach food-insecure individuals beyond our regular Monday night outreach, responding faster and more flexibly during emergencies, storms, or community events. It’s not just about food—it’s about access, dignity, and showing up consistently for those who are often overlooked.
But our vision doesn't stop there.

This is just one step toward building a long-term, sustainable future where everyone in our city has access to basic necessities, delivered with care and humanity.
Every dollar brings us closer—to fueling hope, restoring dignity, and ensuring no one in Fort Myers goes hungry.
