Meals of Hope

Meals of Hope A hands on approach to combat hunger in your community by bringing a meal packing event. We are a volunteer driven organization. Meals cost $0.28 per meal.

Since 2007, we have had more than 15,000 volunteers annually who come together and package food. We set up production lines where volunteers come together and package our five different meals. We ask participants to make a donation to cover the cost of what they pack. We are also the largest food pantry provider in Collier County. We feed more than 600 families every week. Families are welcome to

receive food from one of our 3 locations. On Mondays we are at Lely Presbyterian Church on St. Andrews Blvd. from 3:30-5:30. On Tuesdays we are at the Greater Naples YMCA off of Pine Ridge Road from 3:30-5:30. On Thursdays, we are at the Golden Gate Library parking lot from 2:00-4:00. Our food pantries provide families with shelf stable items, fresh produce, and hygiene products.

National Hunger Awareness Day is a reminder of the need. Here’s what happens when people step in by participating in a Meals of Hope meal-packing event:
• Volunteers pack meals in a high-energy, hands-on setup
• Teams can reach thousands of meals in a few hours
• The meals go straight to families in their community

That’s how this work gets done. 💛 👉 https://mealsofhope.org/get-involved/

A huge thank you to the students of St. John Neumann Catholic High School for spending part of their summer break giving back to the Immokalee community during their Immokalee Service Week!

These students cleaned and organized the NCF Pediatric Health Center Baby Choice Pantry, volunteered at the Guadalupe Center Baby Pantry, and supported food distributions for families in need. Choosing to spend a week of summer serving your neighbors says a lot about the kind of people these students are.

We are so proud to see young leaders show up for this community the way they did. Thank you, Celtics, for your time and your heart. 🍀👏

Help us wish Frank Ductant a happy three-year work anniversary! 👏

Frank is an essential part of our team and plays a key role in supporting our SWFL Food Pantry distributions. He consistently goes above and beyond to serve our neighbors with care while building strong, positive relationships with volunteers and staff.

We are so grateful for his hard work, reliability, and willingness to step in wherever he’s needed. His impact is felt across our organization every day. One of our favorite things about Frank is the friendly smile he brings wherever he goes! 😊

Happy anniversary, Frank! We truly appreciate all that you do.
