As part of Florida Power & Light Company’s (FPL) annual Power to Care Week—a week-long volunteer effort aimed at supporting the communities FPL serves across Florida—volunteers gathered in Sarasota County on Friday, Feb. 20. The event took place from 9am-12:30pm.

More than 15 volunteers dedicated time to the maintenance and beautification of The Ranch of Easterseals Southwest Florida. Their efforts support the organization's mission to offer therapy, learning and recreation on horseback, which helps people with disabilities find new strength, improve balance and unlock their potential.

Kent Jimison from Easterseals Southwest Florida’s Development Office shared gratitude. “It isn’t just what it means to Easterseals, but it’s what it means to the clients we serve and all the children that are suffering from such varying degrees of disabilities,” he said.

The Sarasota County event is one of over 20 volunteer projects across more than 10 counties that are part of FPL’s Power to Care Week, February 16-21. Now in its 18th year, the initiative brings hundreds of FPL volunteers together statewide as part of the company’s commitment to powering strong communities.

“We give back all throughout the year to different service projects, but it just warms my heart to have this many employees show up and come out and the difference they are making in helping this organization,” says FPL Senior Community Relations Specialist, Jennifer Huber.
