PILOT After School Enrichment Program
Pine Island Leaders Of Tomorrow, or PILOT, is an after school program for 2nd grade to senior students. Students earn the opportunity to be chosen for the program in elementary school and progress through the program as they advance in school. PILOT meets at PIUMC 4 days per week for extra-curricular educational instruction, community service opportunities, socialization & entertainment, and preparation to be exceptional leaders in the community.
Mobile Food Pantry
Due to our central location on the island, PIUMC is the host for one of the Community Cooperative Mobile Food Pantries once a month. This greater-Lee-county service welcomes everyone equally, with dignity, respect, and kindness.
Children's Clothing Room
Our Children’s Clothing Room offers free clothing to anyone, both on and off the island. The Clothing Room is currently open during office hours, Monday-Thursday 9a-3p and has clothing available from size newborn up to adult XS/4.

Packages containing 8-10 single-serve and ready-to-eat food items are delivered to Pine Island Elementary School every Friday for children who may find food scarce at home over the weekend.
