July 13, 2016 Naples Gulf Shore Sunset Rotary Meeting

This morning’s meeting of the Naples Gulf Shore Sunset Rotary Club focused on the mission of Saint Matthew’s House in East Naples. The discussion was led by Van Ellison, the CEO of the organization. Their services focus on providing temporary housing for the homeless, while addressing the causes of the condition such as poverty and substance abuse. Men, women, and children are served, and many of them go on to become contributing citizens. Some are even awarded college scholarships. The organization is funded largely by its catering company and its thrift stores.
