NAPLES, Fla. — Thanksgiving distributions are underway across Southwest Florida, and organizations like St. Mathew’s House are starting to see a record number of people show up for meals.
Thursday, St. Matthew’s House and its partners helped feed a record 1,501 families at today’s Hope For The Holidays turkey distribution at First Baptist Church of Naples.
It’s one of the organization's biggest food distributions of the year and with so many families still recovering from Hurricane Ian.
St. Mathew’s House officially kicked off their ‘Hope for the Holidays Thanksgiving’ distributions on Wednesday in Immokalee, where they fed more than 650 families.
That’s the most families they’ve seen there. They had lines of people there just grateful to be getting a free Thanksgiving meal
