 St.
Matthews House
The mission of the St. Matthews House is to change lives in a
spiritual environment that is both compassionate and
disciplined, as well as providing housing for the homeless and
food for the needy. For a growing segment of the population in
both Lee and Collier counties, living affordably is a daily
struggle. Rising prices, a sinking economy and unforeseen
medical bills or life controlling issues can lead to financial
burdens and eventually, homelessness. It's a problem that
affects EVERYONE.
For over 20 years, St. Matthew's House has been the ONLY place
in Collier County to offer food, a home, spiritual support and a
structured environment with life-changing programs to assist
neighbors in need and bring them help, hope and a path to a new
life. The West Coast Muscle Car Club donates hundreds of pounds
of turkeys and hams every Thanksgiving and Christmas to St.
Matthews House.
