I'd like to leave a little bit of a backstory to make it fair as for my review/ question. I just…read moreasked that you please respect that I am making public personal humbling & submissive experiences.1 was when I'd lost my home and all my belongings due to a house fire at age 32 with a four year-old daughter left with nothing but clothes on my back, given a few papers for disaster relief. I came down to Naples to be near who I considered to be family. * Now I had always been an active volunteer. Then I was put on SSD so I extended my volunteering too 30 +hrs wk. unless too ill. I truly enjoyed being active and feeling like I still had a purpose and able to give back I always donated items time money etc. Given a good Samaritans award which came with a financial reward I used to start the Mika Hanney cancer fund. Recognizing my friends 13-year-old daughter diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. (She is now married and has a child of her own) shortly after I handed over the foundation to her family I wound up losing my home , all my belongings to a house fire. age 32 with a four year old daughter. I came to Naples so with the clothes on my back and my disaster relief forms to rebuild a life* It was when I walked into my first Goodwill, I almost fell over when I saw a price tag on a table for $1000.00!! where I came from Pgh PA. that same table would've gone for $25 as it was donated people!!!!! I took my forms and went to a few other resale/charities. Another Goodwill attempt a worker was so rude and belittling I left in tears. As I was called a low class woman looking for handouts. Forms in hand I was just trying to obtain a toddler size mattress. It was then I refused to look for any help from any of these "nonprofit" organizations. So I pulled things from dumpsters & off side of road cleaning and refurbishing them all on my own. Then to my surprise a well known church (1st Baptist) sent 4 women to my house offering to give my daughter a Christmas morning with gifts. Because a friend of mine had told them about my situation.They asked for her sizes, and if there was something particular she may want. In tears gratefully I gave them her sizes and mentioned that she loved anything that had to do with animals. I kept in contact regularly, offering to volunteer my time or anything to show my appreciation. Come Christmas Eve morning I made a phone call to the woman in charge of there group,asking if I needed to pick up these gifts or if they were going to be delivered she said she would get back to me. Needless to say come Christmas morning. There was nothing for my daughter not even a phone call to lmk. I had a few small gifts I was able to buy for her. I tried to hide my shame and heartache from my daughter. However when your child is hurt it enters you and turns to anger. I never again trusted the word "help". Since then finally on my feet, I was quick to start my volunteering and donations. Being that life is full of unexpected grandeur as well as extreme hardship. * Now 2025 I recently again have come across extreme hardship, affecting my health and safety. *Bringing me to my question as I am desperate, Where can someone find a food bank ( that does not entail me filling out questions leading to multiple spam calls and an unanswered question) or is there possible immediate desperately needed help or an advocate? As my most recent situation was one of such heartbreak that of a true nightmare I cannot come to terms with what was done. I'm afraid to make information about it public. You think with all the donation stops made I would've been able to gather some information about where to obtain things that have been donated for some reason that information is not properly advertised. Please !? I run into walls in every direction I've turned. I'm Honestly losing strength from malnutrition. Once I'm on my feet again I am very eager to make a change. With a hands on approach, even going to find people that need help as I now realize it gets so hard and so bad that you're unable to reach or find the help that may be out there. Everyone has a story. No one deserves to struggle a little Hope can create enormous promise,changes for the better. My name is Krissy I promise when I get my strength back you will see and feel a change. Eager to give security in exchange for there struggles. The strong need to clear a path of obstacles shortening the battle for the weak leaving them with more strength to continue on themselves.. ** where or is there legitimate food banks in Naples? ** hunger is painful.

Opened in 1975, the Bargain Box is the oldest church mission thrift store in Naples, Florida…read more Almost 50 years strong, the store is run by volunteers from Naples United Church of Christ. Donated items are given to individuals and families in the community in need and profits are distributed through the church charities. To date they have donated more than $1 million to charities that provide human services locally and globally. They have also partnered with 30 local Collier County charities including Neighborhood Health Clinic, Healthcare Network of SW Florida, Meals of Hope, Baby Basics, Echo, Dental Outreach, Grace Place, Literacy Volunteers, and Habitat for Humanity. I was pleasantly surprised to see the store was much larger than I thought it would be from the outside. Several rooms are filled with gently used furniture, a ladies boutique with name brand and designer clothing, accessories, men's clothes, children's clothes, jewelry, art, holiday decorations, books, and more. Prices were great and I loved the selection of like new merchandise. The volunteers were so friendly. Furniture prices are negotiable and they were having an additional sale on select items. Hours are rather limited, they are only open Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 10-3 so it makes it difficult to shop here if you have to work more traditional 9 to 5 weekday work hours. In any case I am glad that I finally got to stop in and support the great work that they do for this community.

I am writing to formally report an incident that occurred on Saturday, January 17, 2025, at…read moreapproximately 4:00 PM. While shopping, I observed multiple staff members who were restocking merchandise openly discussing, in front of customers, how they were removing the "good" items from the sales floor to take to the back and set aside in personal piles for one another. This was spoken about loudly and casually, as if it were standard practice. While doing so, these same employees repeatedly stepped directly in front of me and physically pushed past me to access racks I was actively browsing. This occurred multiple times and created an uncomfortable and disrespectful situation. The combination of staff hoarding merchandise for personal use and physically disregarding customers reflects a serious lapse in professionalism and store oversight. Customers should not be displaced or made uncomfortable so that staff can reserve merchandise for themselves. This behavior undermines trust, fairness, and the integrity of the store's operations, and leadership should be made aware.

There are a lot of thrift stores in this area including across the street. The Hope for Families…read morethrift store is worth a peek if you are in the area. This thrift store opened just a few weeks ago and proceeds from this store benefits the the Hope for Families Ministry Corp which was formed in 2014 to provide aid to needy families in Naples. "Since its inception, Hope for Families has served hundreds of low-income adults and their families by offering free programs such as Adult Literacy, computer, skills, job skills training classes and health improvement workshop." The store has parking out front and as I was walking up they had a free table set up outside. The store is small and crammed full with a selection of furniture, clothes, house hold goods, and small appliances. They did have a small selection of toys which I did not see at the other area stores so if you have children this would be a good place to check out. Prices seemed reasonable. They also accept donations.

This place was suggested by my parents as worth a visit while in town. First of all, it is…read morecurrently under construction (as of March 2026), so the parking lot is extremely limited with maybe 6 spots, so we parked at the strip mall across the street along with several other patrons. This isn't really a great idea as there is no crosswalk nearby, so proceed at your own risk. There are also signs designating the parking for the strip mall only. I hope their construction includes more parking! This store is jam packed with clothing, books, houseware items, decor, and more. It was super busy when we visited, so everywhere we turned we were in the way or running into people. It was pretty chaotic but I think they must be expanding since it seems very popular. You can find some high-end items here (according to my parents) so if you're on a hunt for something specific you might have fun looking. I didn't really have anything in mind to look for, but I did end up buying an Athleta tank top for yoga, which was only $10 (they retail for $40-$50). Nate got a Columbia shirt for $10 as well. They have a few changing rooms to try things on, and plenty of employees (volunteers?) helping. Checking out was easy and I was able to pay with a credit card. I don't think I need to stop in every time I'm in town, but I would be curious to visit once their construction is done.
