13th Annual Turkey Drop Supports Families in Need
Naples, FL – St.Matthew’s House will be kicking off the holiday season on Friday, November 10th with the 13th Annual Capital Wealth Advisors Turkey Drop. Over 1,000 turkeys, 1,000 dinners with sides, 1,000 pumpkin pies and 1,000 dozen Eggland’s Best eggs will be assembled into dinners and loaded into a refrigerated truck to be distributed among low-income families and homeless individuals during the holiday season.
In 2004, after hearing a radio advertisement for donations at St. Matthew’s House, Bill Beynon, President and CEO of Capital Wealth Advisors, and his wife Nena, purchased 25 turkeys delivering them anonymously to the non-profit organization. The amount of turkeys has since grown over the years as Capital Wealth Advisors has grown.
“This is our 13th Annual Turkey Drop to St. Matthew’s House to give back and help with the great work they do and we feel especially glad to be here this year to contribute, considering how many people and families in the community were affected by hurricane Irma. We are so thankful to our clients and our
team, as well as our friends at Publix and Eggland’s Best who all helped make this day possible,” says Bill.
The Turkey Drop is scheduled to take place on November 10th starting at 9AM. St. Matthew’s House President and CEO Vann Ellison will also be present to assemble Thanksgiving meals. “Every year our holiday outreach to the community grows. With November being Veterans and Military Families month, a portion of the turkeys delivered by Capital Wealth Advisors will go to homeless veterans and their families. Our community is still in need because of Hurricane Irma as well,” said Ellison. “I am proud of Capital Wealth Advisors, Deangelis Diamond, United Mechanical, Publix, Eggland’s Best, and MacNiven Insurance Agency for showing everyone the meaning of this important holiday and how local businesses can give back to communities like ours.”
