Meals of Hope Expands Mobile Food Pantry Outreach

Nonprofit Meals of Hope, our area’s largest food pantry provider, is helping even more people in need of food assistance with the expansion of its weekly mobile food pantry outreach at two new Naples locations―from 3 to 5 p.m. each Tuesday (the third Tuesday with partner agency Harry Chapin Food Bank) in East Naples Community Park at 3500 Thomasson Drive; and from 3 to 5 p.m. on Wednesdays at Max A. Hasse Community Park at 3390 Golden Gate Boulevard West.

Anyone that needs assistance can choose from a variety of food, including frozen meat, fresh produce and canned goods. Participants should bring an ID and bags to carry food.

Meals of Hope, which packed 8.5 million meals in 2018 in Southwest Florida and nationwide, provides 13 food pantries, including six mobile pantries, throughout Collier and Lee counties to provide food to approximately 1,000 families, seniors and veterans each week. Additional services and summer programs serve more than 10,000 area residents each month.
