NAPEO Gives Back

We are thrilled to announce that NAPEO Gives Back will once again be partnering with Our Daily Bread as our charity for 2026!

Our goal this year is to ensure Our Daily Bread has the vehicles they need to reach every family in need, including a van for community outreach and food drives, a truck for supermarket pickups and repairs and upgrades to keep the fleet running.

Demand for food assistance in Collier County is rising, and transportation has become the biggest barrier. The pantry has more than 250 dedicated volunteers and the food to serve families, but without reliable vehicles, thousands of pounds of fresh food can’t reach everyone in need.

Last year, the pantry filled 20,000 weekend backpacks for students, served 1,019 households at Saturday events and delivered food to 66,744 households through its mobile pantry. But with one truck out of service and another van frequently breaking down, every missed trip means missed meals.

There are three ways you can support fundraising efforts for Our Daily Bread:

• Make a donation, no matter the size.
• Renew your NAPEO Gives Back banner to highlight your company’s support ($3,000). Reach out to Ashley Martinez for any questions.
• Donate goods and services to the silent auction at NAPEO’s Annual Conference & Marketplace. Contact Emily Duncan for more details.

Let’s come together to make a difference and a positive impact on Marco Island!
