Giving to Those in Need

On Sunday, March 23, 2025, a spirit of generosity and community support was celebrated as Michelle Hennessy, chair of the United Church of Marco Island's mission committee, and Pastor Ed Brandt handed over a substantial $20,000 check to Gregg DeChirico of the Naples Neighborhood Health Clinic. This significant contribution marks a milestone in the ongoing partnership between the United Church of Marco Island, Bargain Basket, and the clinic, highlighting their commitment to supporting those in need in the greater Collier County area.

The Naples Neighborhood Health Clinic, established in 1999, has dedicated 25 years to serving the community, providing essential health services to those who might otherwise lack access. This partnership underscores the church's and Bargain Basket's dedication to uplifting the community and strengthening social support networks.

Gregg DeChirico warmly invites members of the congregation and the community at large to contribute further by volunteering their time. Such involvement is invaluable to the clinic's ongoing operations and ability to provide care.
