About this area

Estero

Estero sits on the inland I-75 corridor between Fort Myers and Bonita Springs, home to Florida Gulf Coast University students, working families and a large gated-community retiree base. That mix gives us a wide age range of volunteers.

Getting to our office

Join I-75 north at Exit 123 (Corkscrew Road), continue to Exit 136 (Colonial Boulevard) and head west across the Midpoint Memorial Bridge onto Veterans Parkway, then north on Chiquita Boulevard S.
