Fort Myers Monthly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends

We are working to raise a Meeting House. We attempted to purchase a meeting house and paid $675 in related costs. Legal fees of $5379 were incurred. The purchase was not competed and $60,000 was returned to us. We received donations to help us find a spiritual home. We currently meet under a Seminole Chickee Thatched roof open-sided Native American built structure on private land.

We conduct religious services twice a week in person and via zoom. We operate a website. We visit our members who are sick or unable to attend meetings. We provide religious education and spiritual counseling. We produce a monthly newsletter We conduct weddings and funerals in the Quaker tradition. We have no paid clergy or staff operating totally on a volunteer basis. Office outreach government fees and miscellaneous expenses support these activities.

We make donations to local 501c3 charities and to Quaker organizations. These organizations operate food pantries promote nonviolence and the Quaker values of Simplicity Peace Integrity Community Equality and Stewardship.
