Kurt Lutgert is an author, philosopher, and speaker. Alongside being the Vice President of The Lutgert Companies, Kurt Lutger is deeply interested in spiritual development and has a desire to help other people achieve spiritual enlightenment as well.

Spiritual development is a key component to feeling connected, to expressing love, and to being passionate. It teaches people to understand the importance of knowing their self-worth. More importantly, spiritual development helps people understand how important it is to be mindful of the world and all its inhabitants. Allowing spirituality to take hold is also key to experiencing a level of deeper divinity. It is not hard to then understand that spiritual development should not be ignored. It is key in the pursuit of feeling a sense of wholeness.

What can be done to achieve spirituality? That is a question many wonder to themselves when contemplating how to begin walking the path of higher being. Finding those answers comes from within; one must let go of inhibitions and allow peace and serenity to flow in.

The 2021 PIT Count of the Hunger and Homeless Coalition

An accomplished general construction contractor and real estate developer in Naples, Florida, Kurt Lutgert has owned and operated the Lutgert Companies since 1997. He is also actively involved with several local charitable nonprofits. Through the Hunger & Homeless Coalition, Kurt Lutgert partners with the Harry Chapin Food Bank to distribute food to families in need across Collier County.

As part of its efforts to combat hunger and homelessness in Collier County, the Hunger & Homeless Coalition completed its 2021 Homeless Point in Time (PIT) Count at the Guadalupe Center in Immokalee on January 28 and at the corner of US 41 and Bayshore in Naples on January 29. While conducting these PIT counts, the organization distributed 400 packs, 300 zip-lock totes, and 30 tents to individuals without homes.

PIT counts are extremely important tools when it comes to assessing precisely how many people in need are either unable or unwilling to acquire emergency shelter and obtain critical crisis response aid in the cold of winter. By administering PIT counts in January, organizations can conform to U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development scheduling and lend consistency to national homelessness statistics.
