“It’s really a big help knowing that I’ll be able to come pick up a box of food.” For neighbors like Eric, access to food isn’t guaranteed—it’s life-changing. And as Suzie reminds us, even a small gift can make a big impact when it’s given with heart. 💛 During our Summer Match Campaign, your generosity goes twice as far. Every dollar you give will be doubled—providing more meals, more support, and more hope to those who need it most. Give today and help us multiply the impact!

Chay is an absolute treasure.” We are so grateful to have Chay as part of our St. Matthew’s House team! 💛 #StMatthewsHouse #nonprofit #charity #CoreValueAward #EmployeeRecognition #SWFL #SouthwestFlorida #FL #Florida #Excellence
Nearly 152,000 of our neighbors in Southwest Florida are facing food insecurity—that’s families, children, and seniors who don’t know where their next meal will come from.

This month, our goal is to raise $250,000 to provide meals, support and hope. Give today.
