Naples / Collier County, FL: St. Vincent de Paul Society, Naples (SVdP Naples), part of a worldwide, privately-funded Catholic lay organization that operates SVDP Naples Meals on Wheels and SVdP Naples Financial, Food & Furniture Assistance, received a $5,000 financial commitment from Wintrust Banking Center. The $5,000 commitment is helping SVdP Naples launch its new Life Skills Program. The SVdP Naples Life Skills Program offers low-income, working and recently unemployed Collier County individuals and families access to a series of 90-minute classes on essential life skills. Current classes include Financial Literacy & Family Budgeting, Credit Use & Repair, Employment Skills & Opportunities, and Everyday Savings. Each Life Skills class is offered twice a month and taught by area professionals from SVdP Naples donor organizations. Wintrust Banking Center is teaching Credit Use & Repair, while other SVdP Naples leaders and donor organizations are teaching, Financial Literacy/Budgeting, Employment Skills and Opportunities, and Everyday Savings. SVdP Naples plans to add more topics to the curriculum over the coming months. SVdP Naples’ Life Skills classes are 90-minutes in length and designed to help low-income families achieve higher levels of financial and employment self-sufficiency, while also allowing attendees to earn financial assistance and a program diploma. SVdP Naples expects 250 attendees to complete Life Skills classes in 2021. According to Matthew Engblom, Senior Relationship Banker Officer for Wintrust Banking Center, “Wintrust Banking Center and its employees are excited to provide both funding and our professional expertise to this most important life skills training program. Through our participation, we are seeing how the instability of COVID-19 is motivating many lower-income families to broaden their understanding of financial, economic and employment issues, and learn techniques that will ‘help their money and employment skills accomplish more’ for their family.” “We greatly appreciate the financial support and employee participation of Wintrust Banking Center,” said Kim Schul, SVdP Naples Executive Director. “Wintrust’s partnership with SVdP Naples is helping provide much-needed life skills education to ‘working poor’ families determined to improve their financial and employment circumstances. SVdP Naples provides assistance to hundreds of families working locally in hospitality, retail, restaurants, healthcare, senior-care, and other industries. We thank Wintrust Banking Center for funding a unique training program designed to help our Collier County neighbors improve their lives.” Individuals interested in attending any or all of the SVdP Naples Life Skills classes can telephone or email Samantha Maturo, Life Skills Program Coordinator, at (239) 775-2907 x1014 or LifeSkills@SVdPNaples.org. About SVdP Naples Each year, SVdP Naples delivers over 50,000 Meals on Wheels to low-income, homebound seniors, provides over $1 million in financial, food and furniture assistance and Life Skills classes to Collier County families in need, and operates thrift stores in Naples and Bonita Springs, all of which is made possible by dedicated volunteers, the Grace of God, and generous private donors. With inflation, economic uncertainty and resumption of rental evictions, SVdP Naples expects a spike in assistance requests from Collier County’s low-income families. SVdP Naples Meals on Wheels is funded solely through donations from individuals, businesses, foundations and community groups, and receives no ongoing funding from the Catholic Church or local/state/federal government. In 2021, SVdP Naples launched its 4-year, HONORING SENIORS…Guiding Families initiative to address food and financial insecurity among Collier County’s low-income seniors, individuals and families.
