Better Together to offer Parents’ Night Out Oct. 11 for Fort Myers families

Better Together, a nonprofit dedicated to families and children, is hosting a Parents’ Night Out event on Friday, Oct. 11 for families in the Fort Myers area.

The program offers parents, grandparents and other caregivers access to a couple of hours of no-cost care for children from infant to 17 years old. Better Together will provide background-checked volunteers in addition to dinner, games and fun for children to enjoy while parents are away.

“As a parent, having a night off to take a break, catch up on errands or do something for yourself is important,” said Megan Rose, CEO of Better Together. “Parents’ Night Out grants children a night full of fun and gives parents time away with the reassurance that their children are being cared for by background-checked volunteers.”

Parents’ Night Out will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 11 at First Assembly of God, located at 4701 Summerlin Road in Fort Myers.

To register for Parents’ Night Out, visit BetterTogetherUS.org/PNO-Registration or call 239-470-2733.
