Meet the Organizations Behind Hello Naples

Hello Naples is not written from the outside looking in. Much of what you will read here comes from organizations already doing the work in Collier County, every day, whether or not anyone writes about it.

These are our founding content partners. Each one brings us news, updates and local insight from inside the community they serve.

United Arts Collier

United Arts Collier is A Voice for All the Arts in Collier County. It supports artists, arts organizations and arts education across the county, and it helps residents find the concerts, exhibitions, classes and festivals happening near them.

Harry Chapin Food Bank

Harry Chapin Food Bank works to end hunger across Southwest Florida, including here in Collier County. It moves food through a network of partner pantries and programs, and connects neighbors with food assistance when they need it.

Pathways Early Education Center of Immokalee

Pathways Early Education Center of Immokalee focuses on the years that shape everything after. It provides high quality early learning and family support so local children arrive at school ready, and so parents have a partner in those first years.

Golisano Children’s Museum of Naples

Better known as C’mon, the Golisano Children’s Museum of Naples is where curiosity gets to make a mess. Hands on exhibits let kids climb, build, pour and experiment, and families come back as children grow into new parts of the museum.

Lighthouse of Collier

Lighthouse of Collier serves people who are blind or visually impaired, at every age, at no charge. Programs run from early intervention for babies through children’s classes, teen transition services and adult training in the skills that keep people independent. It is the only agency in Collier County providing services to individuals of all ages living with vision loss.

Collier Community Foundation

Collier Community Foundation connects donors with the causes that need them. Working with local families and businesses, it funds nonprofits tackling the county’s hardest problems, from housing and hunger to mental health, education and disaster relief. Its guiding phrase is simple: informed giving, powerful results.
