Naples Hooters Collecting School Supplies for Homeless Youth

July 11, 2024

Naples Hooters is spreading holiday cheer in the middle of the year for a good cause.  During the entire month of July the restaurant will be decorated for Christmas as they collect school supplies and backpacks for homeless kids in Collier County.  Guests are encouraged to bring school supplies and backpacks to benefit the Christmas in July Foundation of Collier County.  The restaurant is also offering the opportunity to sponsor a child's complete backpack for $25.

The Christmas in July Foundation of Collier County was formed to aid CCPS students who are deemed homeless or at risk of being homeless, with backpacks, school supplies and clothing.  The mission is to make sure these students are prepared and proud to go back to school.  As an all year long project, we fulfill their needs throughout the school year.

“Our team at Naples Hooters wanted to get involved and help local children who are homeless or at the risk of being homeless.  We are thankful to partner with the Christmas in July Foundation of Collier County to be able to provide kids school supplies and backpacks for the new school year and year round. We appreciate our customers' generosity in always supporting our community efforts,” said Naples Hooters General Manager Steve Caruso. In 2023, Naples Hooters presented a $10,000 donation plus 296 backpacks filled with school supplies to the Christmas in July Foundation of Collier County.
