\"\"P.I.F.L.A. Inc stands for Pay to Forward Lehigh Acres and was started by Tracy LaVallee.<\/p>\n

At first the P.I.F.L.A. organization did wonderful things in Lehigh Acres organized food & clothing drives but on Sept 23, 2016 State of Florida dissolved the non-for profit corporation. And the donations that were spent on a IRS 501c3 certification has been wasted.<\/p>\n

Just last month the P.I.F.L.A. organization asked for donations but they cannot legally take donations of any kind. But some members of the Lehigh Acres Community Neighborhood Watch Group that were unware P.I.F.L.A. organization issues donated items for Christmas gifts.<\/p>\n

On Facebook, LaValle was asked about the donations, she said, \u201cWe do not take money. All money donated is donated to our partnering nonprofits\u201d. But this daisy chaining of donations is still illegally under IRS rules.<\/p>\n

Lehigh Acres has lots of very good charitable organization, but currently P.I.F.L.A. is during a Christmas Toy drive involving the following organizations that may or may not know about P.I.F.L.A. Inc issues.<\/p>\n

Access Real Estate, Lee County Sheriff\u2019s Office, AMVETS Post 65 in Cape Coral, Lehigh Acres Initiative group and Mothers Empowering Other Women.<\/p>\n

Please before you donate your hard earn money and time always please take the time and check out charitable organization first.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
