How You Can Help
Give Where You Live
Give Where You Live
The seventh annual Give Where You Live Collier is a Collier County-wide movement to celebrate and increase philanthropy, from February 10, 2021 until noon on February 11, 2021.
According to the 2017 Collier County Community Needs and Assets Assessment study, “99% of our Collier year-round residents have an average household income of $57,258. The minimum sustainable living wage for a family of 4 is estimated to be at $66,127, higher than the average household income for the bottom 99%. A considerable percentage of families (34%) have difficulty meeting basic needs.”
Basic needs include food, water, clothing, education, health care, and shelter.
The Salvation Army of Collier County Social Services programs help families stay in their homes by providing crisis intervention counseling and emergency service programs designed to meet unmet basic needs. For example, we have partnered with FP&L and through their Care to Share program, we can keep utilities on in a household experiencing hardship. Families are provided with clothing and furniture vouchers that can be used to ‘shop’ our Family Store at no charge.
Studies show food insecurity has a lifelong effect on children: lower reading and math scores, more physical and mental health problems, more emotional and behavioral problems and a greater chance of obesity. Our Naples and Immokalee food pantry distributed 192,836 lbs of food to 4,888 households comprised of 13,547 individuals last year.
$100 will allow us to…
Provide approximately 20 bags of nutritionally sound groceries to families who struggle each day to simply eat a meal. Imagine knowing that your kind gesture will put breakfast on the table in the morning before a child heads off to school, or enable a family to come together at the dinner table at the end of a trying day – one often filled with worry, wondering where the next meal will come from.
$250 will allow us to…
Help cool the homes of at least 15 families in the stifling heat of the summer here in Southwest Florida. Your donation will bring lifesaving comfort to Collier County families in need during the hottest calendar season when temperatures can reach into the mid and upper 90’s. Many of these families include seniors and small children depending on this support during a time of the year that often sees heat-related illnesses spiking across the nation. Your generous gift could be a lifesaving one.
$500 will allow us to…
Provide rent or mortgage assistance to a family on the brink of losing the only home they know. Your donation can help a family avoid eviction or foreclosure. You could be the difference between a family keeping their home or becoming homeless.
Please help us grow more good by giving where your heart is – Collier County, FL.

Disaster Services
September is National Preparedness Month
When a disaster threatens call the
Collier Information Center at 3-1-1 or 252-8444.
Since 1899, The Salvation Army has provided emergency services to individuals and communities affected by disasters and other catastrophic events. The "Army" has been on the scene of thousands of disasters ... honoring a century-old commitment to serve those in need, at the time of need, in the place of need. The Salvation Army is among the first to arrive at the disaster scene and among the last to leave.
In a disaster, The Salvation Army has the ability to provide both immediate emergency assistance and long-term recovery help. Basic services may include:
Food Service
The most visible of The Salvation Army's disaster services is the delivery of meals and drinks to disaster victims and emergency workers. Food may be prepared and served at congregate feeding sites (such as a Salvation Army corps building, camp or shelter) or from one of the Army's mobile feeding units/canteens, which are essentially kitchens on wheels.
Hydration Service
Hydration service provides beverages that replenish electrolytes (minerals such as potassium), enhance energy and meet general hydration requirements for those served.
Cleanup and Restoration
The Salvation Army supports people as they restore and rebuild after a disaster. Cleanup and restoration services include distribution of cleanup supplies, coordination of volunteer rebuilding teams and set up of warehouses to distribute reconstruction supplies.
Donations Management
The Salvation Army is one of the nation's leaders in collecting, sorting and distributing donated goods. During a disaster, The Salvation Army may open disaster warehouses to receive and sort donations, establish distribution centers to dispense goods directly to victims and channel donations to support other disaster programs such as mass feeding and cleanup.
Spiritual and Emotional Care
The Salvation Army provides spiritual comfort and emotional support to disaster victims and emergency workers coping with the stress of a disaster. Salvation Army counselors, who are ordained clergy (officers) or lay personnel, will offer a "ministry of presence," as well as examples of spiritual and emotional care activities include comforting the injured and bereaved, conducting or participating in funeral and memorial services and providing chaplaincy services to disaster workers and emergency management personnel.
Disaster Social Services
The Salvation Army provides direct financial assistance to disaster victims through a system of trained caseworkers. The assistance available may include essential living supplies, such as food, clothing, medicine, bedding, or baby products, emergency housing needs and disaster-related medical or funeral expenses.
How we work with other agencies:
- The Salvation Army of Collier County is an integral member of the community of disaster service organizations.
- The Salvation Army's role is affirmed in The Federal Relief Act of 1970 (PL 91-606) and The Disaster Relief Act of 1974 (PL 93-288).

Amahl Dec 24 2019
Gulfshore Opera observes the Spirit of Giving this Holiday Season
This holiday season you can enjoy a heart-warming, family-friendly performance while donating to area homeless shelters. Gulfshore Opera presents Amahl and the Night Visitors on tour in Charlotte, Lee and Collier Counties December 27-29. Gian Carlo Menotti’s American folk opera is a Christmas miracle story for the whole family. Amahl… is a retelling of the story of the Magi from the point of view of a young, disabled shepherd, Amahl who lives in poverty with his mother. One night, three kings stop for shelter on their journey following a wondrous star. As the story unfolds, the true miracle and meaning of life are revealed, a gift far greater than gold.
In keeping with their commitment to community engagement, Gulfshore Opera is partnering with three Southwest Florida charities to support their missions. A portion of each adult ticket sold to Amahl… will directly benefit St. Matthew’s House, the Salvation Army of Naples, and the Charlotte County Homeless Coalition.
Following a successful partnership with Opera Fusion (Ft. Lauderdale) on Season 5’s Don Pasquale, Gulfshore Opera and Opera Fusion join forces again for this production which will tour the east coast of Florida following the local tour. The two companies are collaborating to feature the best of southern Florida’s regional talent to bring Amahl to life. The role of Amahl will be cast among boys in the Florida Singing Sons Boychoir (Ft. Lauderdale). For the Gulfshore Opera performances, the role of the Mother will be performed by Ft. Myers resident, Lauryn Kay, last seen as Flora in Gulfshore Opera’s La Traviata. John Whittslesey, Christopher Waite, and Neill Nelson will perform the roles of Melchior, Caspar, and Balthazar, the Three Kings, respectively. Mr. Nelson was seen as the Marquis in La Traviata and will be joining Gulfshore Opera as a Professional Artist in Residence for Season 6. Alejandro Viera, seen as one of the Gulfshore Tenors in previous seasons, performs the role of The Page. This fully-staged production is set in biblical times with chamber orchestra and chorus.
Tickets are on sale now, by visiting www.gulfshoreopera.org or calling 239-529-3925. Full event details and information about charities below.

About Gulfshore Opera
Your regional opera company serving three counties, Gulfshore Opera presents the highest quality of opera theater and vocal music performances while maximizing accessibility for diverse audiences of all ages. Gulfshore Opera was founded with core values of a community based creative collaboration. The company also promotes community well-being through music education programs. Its mission is to make opera accessible to the general public by maintaining affordable ticket prices, and a wide range of performance experiences suitable for diverse audiences.
About St. Matthew’s House
St. Matthew’s House began in 1987 when a group of Naples parishioners followed a calling to bring food to a homeless population living in a nearby wooded area. The “Task Force for the Homeless” began gathering contributions of both food and clothing, establishing the mission’s food pantry. Throughout the years, community support has helped grow the small mission into a multi-faceted organization focused on spiritual change. As a 501(c)(3), our 100% donation model allows all of our operating expenses to be covered by unique social enterprises – which enable us to direct 100% of all public donations toward our life-changing programs that continue to enrich countless lives in our community. Today, St. Matthew’s House continues to run the original Emergency/Transitional Housing and Feeding Ministry along with its Justin’s Place Recovery Program, Collier County jail chaplain service, 6 thrift stores, full-service catering company, and retreat/conference center.
About Salvation Army of Naples
Doing The Most Good in Collier County since 1981. The Salvation Army officially dedicated the Naples Corps on February 1, 1981, and the Naples Family Services Center at the Estey Avenue campus was dedicated on January 24, 1993. We also have an Immokalee Social Services office to help our neighbors in need. Originally serving the community with a Family Shelter, Emergency Social Services and Disaster Services, the Naples Corps 2004 feasibility study determined a need for additional Child Care options, and the Family Shelter became our Child Development Center. The center offers affordable daycare for children ages 1 through 5. The Fran Cohen Youth Center opened in April 2017, serving elementary through sixth-grade students with after-school and summer day camp programs.
About Charlotte County Homeless Coalition
The mission of the Homeless Coalition is to alleviate and prevent hunger and homelessness. The Homeless Coalition envisions a community free of hunger and homelessness.

Whether it’s through feeding the homeless, caring for the elderly, or providing a place where children can learn positive life skills…thousands of lives are changed for the better every day because The Salvation Army reaches out to help.
However, the magnitude and complexity of these problems increase daily. The Salvation Army will always be concerned with the immediate needs of those who dwell on the precarious edge of poverty, but it is vital that we address the root cause of the forces that threaten the most vulnerable in our society.
The Salvation Army depends on the continued generosity of community leaders who desire to make a difference through significant financial gifts.
The William Booth Society was formed to ensure that The Salvation Army Naples Regional Coordinate remains financially strong and ready to meet the needs of our community. Several levels of annual membership support are offered, beginning at $5,000; individuals who give at this leadership level make a significant investment in The Salvation Army’s programs in Collier County. Gifts will be used exclusively for the needs of the most vulnerable in our community, making members an invaluable part of the process of helping families and individuals rebuild their lives. We look forward to partnering with you on an annual basis to bring life-changing transformation to our community.
