Video Reels Last week we had the pleasure of hosting #LeadershipCollier at our Naples shelter where they took a tour, completed a volunteer activity and engaged in a Q&A session with multiple community leaders from the @colliercffl, the Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation, and the @ncef_nwwf.

We’re so grateful for these opportunities to share the work of St. Matthew’s House with the community and the impact they can have.
