Capital Wealth Advisors Turkey Drop

The First Naples Church parking lot again will transform into a bustling holiday central assembly line for the 20th Annual Capital Wealth Advisors (CWA) Turkey Drop event. More than 200 volunteers collect and pack food boxes for later distribution to individuals and families experiencing hardship. 

The public can participate in Turkey Drop now through November 20 by donating frozen turkeys and canned goods at the St. Matthew’s House donation drop off at 2601 Airport Road South, Naples, Monday through Saturday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.  

The public also can participate by purchasing a meal for a family in need. Each meal box feeds a family of four to six and includes a turkey, mashed potatoes, green beans, corn, cranberry sauce, stuffing, and pumpkin pie. To purchase a meal or for more details on Turkey Drop, visit www.cwaturkeydrop.com.

Starting November 20, meal boxes will be distributed by CWA and other community partners working with St. Matthew’s House to low-income families, those with disabilities, senior citizens and veterans across a series of distribution locations throughout Collier and Lee counties. Information on distribution locations and dates can be found at stmatthewshouse.org.

CWA President and CEO William Beynon and his wife Nena started Turkey Drop 20 years ago after he heard a radio spot asking for turkeys to be donated to St. Matthew’s house for those in need during the holidays. That donation was Beynon’s inspiration for the first Turkey Drop and the event has grown exponentially since.

Today, CWA is joined by its many business and community partners in supporting St. Matthew’s House in its feeding mission, with a goal of providing turkeys, sides, vegetable boxes and pumpkin pies to more than 6,000 families, thanks to a contribution from the Beynon family. “It is incredible to see how our firm’s employees and the community have come together in support of this event over the years,” says Beynon. “It is truly my favorite holiday tradition.”
