OVERVIEW St. Matthew’s House is a $21-million mission in Naples, Florida, offering faith-based, free market solutions to poverty and addiction. The mission’s unique social enterprise model not only provides a significant source of sustainable revenue, but it also provides those served with job training and work experience, so they are better able to provide for themselves and their families. St. Matthew’s House began in 1987 when a Bible study group followed the calling in Matthew 25:35-36 to bring food to a homeless population living in a nearby wooded area in Naples. This “Task Force for the Homeless” began gathering contributions of both food and clothing, establishing the mission’s food pantry. Throughout the years, community support helped grow the small pantry into a multi-faceted mission focused on transforming lives. Today, St. Matthew’s House continues to run the food pantry, along with two emergency/homeless shelters (The Campbell Lodge and Immokalee Friendship House), addiction recovery services (Justin’s Place Recovery Program), prison outreach (Collier and Hendry County Jail Chaplain Service), transitional housing (Wolfe Apartments and Justin’s Village), and several social enterprises, including 6 thrift stores, a breakfast and lunch café, a full-service catering company, a car wash, an office rental property, and a hotel and conference center. St. Matthew’s House serves all who are broken and come for help, without regard to their beliefs or religious affiliation. As a 501(c)(3), a 100% donation model allows all the administrative expenses to be covered by the mission’s social enterprises – which enables St. Matthew’s House to direct 100% of all donations toward the mission’s life-changing programs that continue to enrich and transform countless lives in Southwest Florida. St. Matthew’s House is blessed by a board of directors populated with successful and passionate leaders in business, law, ministry, and the community. They are committed to supporting the next CEO in fulfilling the St. Matthew’s House mission. After seventeen years of dedicated service, President and CEO Vann Ellison retired in May, and the Board is seeking a leader with a track record of leading similar-sized ministries or organizations. Above all, they are seeking someone whose Christian faith is preeminent, and who leads with integrity, compassion, and a servant’s heart.
MISSION & BELIEFS MISSION STATEMENT To change lives in a spiritual environment that is both compassionate and disciplined as we provide housing for the homeless, food for the needy and comfort for the addicted and suffering. BELIEF STATEMENT St. Matthew’s House is a Christian ministry. As such, we are guided by the Bible, which we believe is “inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that everyone who belongs to God may be proficient, equipped for every good work.” (2 Timothy 3:16-17 NRSV). As a faith-based organization, we affirm the call of God to all people “from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages” to participate in the compassion and care of St. Matthew’s House.
