Brownies Donate to St. Matthew's House

Naples, FL (April 2, 2007) Brownie Troop #419 of Naples donated food and diapers and baby wipes purchased with a portion of their cookie sales to St. Matthew's House (SMH) at a presentation on Monday, March 26th. Cheryl Kobza the troop's leader contacted St. Matthew's House when the girls decided that they wanted to give back to the community. "Our troop decided to donate 10% of our troop earnings from our cookie sales to the needy, Ms. Kobza explained. " The girls in our troop have a soft spot in their hearts for helping people who are in need. They truly have a heart for God's people." The check, hand made cards and items were presented as part of the occasion that included an overview of the workings of SMH and a tour of the family facility by SMH Executive Director Vann Ellison. "I was amazed at the generosity, interest and curiosity these girls showed," said Mr. Ellison, "It is so encouraging to see the true heartfelt concern and desire to help our neighbors in need that is so genuine in these youngsters."

St. Matthew's House provides housing for men, women and families with children. Presently the main facility and the SMH transitional Wolfe Apartments are home to 16 families with 28 children. SMH has been above capacity since June 2005.

The mission of SMH is to provide housing for the homeless, food for the needy and an opportunity to change lives in a spiritual environment that is both compassionate and disciplined.
