The mission of Community Cooperative is to eliminate hunger and homelessness in southwest Florida while simultaneously inspiring and supporting sustained positive change in its clients by delivering innovative food, education and social service programs.

As a Flip Volunteer you will help design and plan arts and crafts activities based on the fruit or vegetable of the month. You will do amazing tasks such as reading a story about the highlighted food, help with arts and crafts, and even hand out snacks! Our Flip participants are always excited to have us in the classroom and they always enjoy crafts and a healthy snack.

You will be working closely with our social worker Jeremy, who often sports a fruit or vegetable costume! If you have not volunteered with Community Cooperative before, all FLIP volunteers must conduct a phone interview with a staff member of volunteer services. This must be conducted BEFORE your first FLIP shift.

FLIP Occurs on Wednesdays alternating, the shift is from 9am-10:30am.

There are several locations including:

3713 Canal Street, Fort Myers, FL, USA
4650 Fowler Street, Fort Myers, FL, USA

More locations coming soon!
