Our Mission:
PIE plays a vital role in preserving the beauty, culture, community, and well-being of our islands through a variety of initiatives:
Supporting our community by sharing timely and relevant island updates.
Representing the island in civic matters, engaging with local authorities such as the Charlotte County Board of Commissioners, Palm Island Transit, Fire Department, and Sheriff’s Department.
Enhancing infrastructure and services by working with local officials and advocating for residents’ needs.
Building connections through social events that bring residents and visitors together.
Encouraging youth involvement in community service and education through scholarships and volunteer opportunities.
Protecting our environment by partnering with organizations like the Bocilla Islands Conservancy, Inc. and the Don Pedro/Knight Island Sea Turtle Patrol.
While membership is not mandatory, your support directly contributes to the programs and initiatives that help preserve and improve island life.
