St. Matthew’s House of Naples hosted its annual turkey distribution, providing Thanksgiving meals and groceries to 2,000 Collier County families and seniors in need.

GL Homes joined hundreds of St. Matthew’s House volunteers to pack car trunks with turkeys, pies, fresh eggs and Thanksgiving trimmings. This outpouring of community support ensured that many families enjoy a hearty holiday meal.

St. Matthew’s House’s mission is to ensure that no one experiencing hunger, homelessness, or addiction is alone or without a pathway from crisis to contributor.

Their approach is community-driven, addressing challenges in Southwest Florida for over 35 years. St. Matthew’s House focuses on meeting immediate needs while building toward sustainable transformations.
