City of Punta Gorda > Live Here > Volunteer Culture

PUNTA GORDA IS MORE THAN JUST A TOWN. IT’S A COMMUNITY.

Punta Gorda is one of Florida’s most relaxed, peaceful communities. With an historic ambience and intimate feeling, it’s a small town that seems more like a neighborhood. And with a citizenry that is connected, involved and concerned for their town and each other, it’s more than a town, it’s a true “community.”

Punta Gorda offers countless opportunities to get involved. We are among the most welcoming to newcomers eager to lend a hand, improve the city, or help a neighbor.

Punta Gorda is what so many of its residents have spent a lifetime seeking, and now have found in a place that truly is a “harbor,” offering safety, comfort, and a place to set forth on more of life’s great adventures.
