Raise the Roof Building Project

For more than 16 years, CrossWalk Community Outreach, a Naples-based 501c3 nonprofit, has provided vital community services to Naples and the surrounding areas. In 2024, the space we were using was no longer available, which meant we could no longer offer free meals, blood pressure checks, Medicare assistance, flu clinics, our community meal site, or our emergency warming space. With the support of our board, donors, and local residents, we launched the Raise the Roof campaign, hosting and attending numerous events to spread the word about our outreach and raise funds for a place to call our own. We’re dedicated to finding a permanent home where the community can once again come together to learn, connect, and grow. We’re excited to announce that we’ve leased a building! Our goal is to purchase it within the next 2–3 years. Leasing brings new operating expenses we haven’t faced before, so our campaign remains as active as ever. We’re building a kitchen, a bathroom with shower and laundry services, a clothing store, and many other exciting additions. We need your help more help than ever—volunteers, in-kind gift donations, and of course, monetary contributions to sustain our outreach. Our new location will allow us to bring back lost services, including:

Emergency Meals during Outages and Pandemics
Warming/Cooling Center
The Return of Free Community Meals
Addiction Recovery Outreach in collaboration with LRRC
Girl Scouts/Boy Scouts space
Community Garden/Farm to Table
Healthy Food Access for Naples Residents/Food Pantry
Free Notary Public Services
Community Health Worker Onsite for Resource Referrals
Blood Pressure Screening/ Flu Clinics with Community Nurses
