This is a late invite, but if you are interested in joining to support Cathy’s Place as one of our ministry partners, please purchase tickets ASAP.Join Cathy’s Place, a recovery community organization dedicated to fostering support, connection, and hope, for a special evening at Saint Andrews South Golf Club as we come together for Lighting the Way for Recovery. This inspiring event will be filled with stories of resilience, and a shared commitment to healing.

Whether you have been personally touched by substance use disorder, are walking alongside a loved one, or simply want to stand in support of our recovery community, this evening is for you. Together, we will honor the journey, spread hope, and shine a light on the path forward.

All proceeds from this event will directly benefit Cathy’s Place, helping us build stronger programs—such as our Narcan Distribution Program—to save lives, strengthen families, and support recovery in Charlotte County.

Wintergarden is launching a new 501c3 with a 5k walk/run and a 1 mile walk for hunger on Saturday, February 14 at 8am. What a wonderful way to start the day by sharing God’s love on the walk/run and helping to kick off this work! We hope you will join us for this event. And invite friends to join you too!

Over the course of the past 3 years, the leadership of Wintergarden and the Food Pantry have been discerning starting a new non-profit. After years of discernment, we officially applied to start a new non-profit called Nurturing the Neighborhood on Wintergarden. Last week, we officially received our 501c3 non-profit status from the IRS. More to come in the New Year on how this new non-profit will expand the feeding ministry in Charlotte County!
If you can, follow our facebook page HERE.

And don’t forget to join us for the 5k!
