Now through Nov. 21, all Sanibel Captiva Community Bank branches are serving as collection sites for donations to benefit the PACE Center for Girls of Lee County\u2019s Point Store.<\/p>\n
New items, such as clothing, jewelry, makeup and hair products, stuffed animals, pajamas, fuzzy socks, bedroom decor, art supplies and gift cards, are being collected to stock the store for holiday shopping.<\/p>\n
Each branch features a holiday tree decorated with ornaments handmade by PACE girls. All ornaments include a QR code to the list that the girls created with items they are wishing for. Participants can select an ornament and either bring the corresponding donation to any branch or scan the code to have the items sent directly to PACE.<\/p>\n
The Point Store is a component of PACE\u2019s positive behavior system used to motivate and reward the girls for their achievements at school, at home and in the community. Throughout the year, they earn points for good grades, attendance and behavior, which they can \u201cspend\u201d on items for themselves or their families at the store, located inside the center.<\/p>\n
