As we welcome the change of seasons, we’re also looking forward to welcoming
our seasonal residents as they migrate back to Southwest Florida in the months
ahead.
September is Hunger Action Month, a time to raise awareness about the need for
food assistance in our community. Through our daily hot meals and
community-choice pantry, individuals and families can access nutritious food
year-round. And you can be a part of this! With the holidays quickly
approaching, a generous donor has committed to providing all the turkeys for
our holiday food distributions, but we’re still requesting donations of the
additional items needed to ensure families enjoy a complete holiday
meal.

If you’re looking for another way to get involved and make an impact, consider
volunteering with St. Matthew’s House. On October 1, we’re launching our new
volunteer management system designed to provide a more user-friendly
experience. With five direct-service opportunities, you can choose the area
that best aligns with your skills and passions.
More exciting news on the horizon: LuLu’s Kitchen will reopen in November. The
café will continue to serve breakfast and lunch in a refreshed dining room
while also offering new grab-and-go menu items. Additionally, our catering
services (formerly known as Delicious by Design) will merge with LuLu’s
Kitchen for a simplified approach.
November also brings our next community event: the 50th Justin’s Place®
Recovery Program Graduation! This event is free to attend, but we kindly ask
that you RSVP so our team can plan accordingly.
Thank you for supporting St. Matthew’s House. Whether you’re a donor,
volunteer or community partner, know that your generosity and commitment to
our mission don’t go unnoticed.
God bless.
