Feeding those in need
If you are in need of a meal, we invite you to come as you are and enjoy a meal on us. We are currently open for lunch on Sundays and Wednesdays at 11:30AM. We hope to expand to 7 days a week as donations & resources increase.

We are looking to expand our hours, but in order to do so, we are in need of the resources to make that possible.
Hunger and Homelessness in Naples
Most people don’t associate Naples, Florida with hunger or homelessness. When tourists arrive here, they observe beautiful beaches, fine dining, exotic cars and expensive homes in gated communities. Naples is home to approximately 90 golf courses and has been called the golf capital of the world. But if one were to drive into center Naples on one of the back roads, an observant person would notice neighborhoods and apartment buildings that probably won’t make it into the tourism brochure. If you look even deeper into the patches of undeveloped property and woods scattered throughout Naples, you might be surprised to find tents where those experiencing homelessness live –in fact, Naples is home to a place called “Tent City”. But hunger is not a problem limited to those experiencing homelessness –there are many people here in Naples who have suffered financial loss due to circumstances outside their control and are now struggling to feed themselves or their families.
By providing those in need with a meal every day, we can make sure that essential needs are being met. Sharing a meal with someone also allows us to develop relationships with the community so that we can understand and meet their further needs –so we also partner with other local organizations who can get to the root of the problem and provide people with that help.
