Center eNewsletter
We envision a community where all people are empowered with information and have access to resources which increase their opportunities for success.
Welcome to Summer!
We are happy to report that we have been very busy helping people in our communities. During the first five months of 2022, we have served 403 clients and logged over 617 volunteer hours. Without our volunteers and supporters, we would not be able to accomplish all that we do. Thank you very much.
Naples’ New Neighbors in Need: Ukrainian Refugees
Within hours of Russian attacks on Ukraine, the Collier Resource Center team began to brainstorm how we could help the millions of people who were fleeing for their lives and the millions who stayed and risked theirs. 
VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT: Fishing For Volunteers
Ernesto Dela Merced is a 64-year old Naples resident, a father of three, and a new grandfather. Last June, he was fishing just south of Marco Island with his son, who was on leave from the Army. When a Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officer asked him, "Have any luck?" Ernesto and his son said they had, the officer took out his giant ruler and deemed their fish half an inch undersized. He issued several tickets and told Ernesto to show up in court. An undersized fishing violation is a second degree misdemeanor, carrying a $500 fine and two months in jail. You might wonder how this led Ernesto to the Collier Resource Center.
If you know someone who would like to volunteer for CRC, e-mail us at info@collierresourcecenter.org or call us at (239) 434-2030.
