Fort Pierce, Florida

After leaving the Keys I decided to go back north to Fort Pierce where I had looked into volunteering a few weeks back. The Harvest Food & Outreach Centers provide reduced-cost food, thrift centers, as well as education, employment, and government assistance services for needy families in central Florida. I filled out a short application to volunteer for a few days with this fantastic organization and was assigned to sort incoming donations and do general cleaning working in the thrift store with Deb. It was a wonderful experience and if I am ever travelling back that way I would absolutely do it again.

In the evenings I wandered around the beaches a bit as well and even managed to see a baby manatee surface for air not even ten feet from me. I wasn’t quick enough to catch the baby or the mother on camera but I did get a few pictures of sunset at the South Causeway Park where I spotted them.
