Any amount is greatly appreciated. No donation is too small. What a gift it would be to help rebuild the historical nature of the Sanibel Community House, the heartbeat of the Islands. Your generous support will help us reach our goal and brighten the future for generations to come. We cannot imagine a Sanibel without The Community House, and with The Harkey’s generosity, along with YOUR donation, we can all do this TOGETHER!

We are truly grateful to Bill & Laurie Harkey for stepping up and creating this opportunity. We can never say "Thank You" enough for helping to restore the historical heartbeat of the Islands!

Your Historic Sanibel Community House, The Island Gathering Place was severely damaged and we lost everything, including: furniture, tables, chairs, computers, office and AV equipment, restaurant grade kitchen appliances and kitchenware, and so many other supplies.

Your support will help us build back stronger, more resilient and smarter for the future. And we can’t do it without you.

We were and we will be again, the perfect setting for:

 • Arts & Cultural programs

• Clubs & Organizational meetings

 • Private events

 • Community celebrations, and more!

Your support helps build a better future for all.

No donation is too small. Every contribution helps SCA get closer to its goal.

Gratefully, 

Teresa Riska-Hall

Executive Director
