For the past 15 years, Capital Wealth Advisors has partnered with St. Matthew’s House to give an ever-growing number of turkeys away for the holiday season. Last year, in 2018, that number was 1,500. This year the local financial planning company has donated 2,000 turkeys and they only want to see that number grow.
Over time other businesses have joined Turkey Drop. This year Publix, Egglands Best, Woods, Weidenmiller, Michetti, and Rudnick, Wilson & Johnson, Deangelis Diamond, Calusa Bay Properties, and State Farm MacNiven have all come together to help transform 2,000 turkeys into 2,000 Thanksgiving meals.
We are so grateful to each of our community partners that make this event possible. And we are especially grateful to Bill Benyon, President and CEO of Capital Wealth Advisors, who with his wife Nena, purchased 25 turkeys and delivered them anonymously to St. Matthew’s House in 2004.
We feel a responsibility to the public, because as a community if we can inspire people to continue to give food to St. Matthew’s House we can help the hunger issue in Collier and Lee County.
-Bill Benyon, President and CEO of Capital Wealth Advisors
That act of generosity 15 years ago, now enables over 75 times as many families in our community to sit down to a Thanksgiving dinner with the ones they love.
We will be distributing these meals to qualifying Collier and Lee County residents at our thrift locations starting Thursday. For more information about our Hope for the Holidays Turkey Distributions please call (239) 774-0500.
