A TRADITION OF
GIVING AND
GRATITUDE

Now in its 22nd year, Capital Wealth Advisors (CWA) and its community partners have hosted the Turkey Drop each November, one of Collier County’s largest holiday dinner giveaways. What began as a single act of generosity has grown into a cherished tradition, providing thousands of Thanksgiving meal boxes—complete with turkeys, eggs, pumpkin pies, and sides —through St. Matthew’s House to local families in need. Beneficiaries include low-income families, those with disabilities, senior citizens, and veterans.


Each November, these meal boxes are packed by CWA’s team, community partners, volunteers, and friends in an assembly line on “Turkey Drop Day” before being distributed throughout Collier and Lee counties.


A Labor of Love: The Origins of Turkey Drop


The Turkey Drop tradition began in 2004 when CWA President, CEO and Co-Founder, William Beynon, and his wife Nena, heard a radio ad from St. Matthew’s House asking for turkey donations. Moved by the call to action, they immediately purchased 25 turkeys for donation, marking the start of what would become a growing commitment to feeding families during the holidays.


As CWA grew so did its contributions, however it faced challenges—clearing stores of turkeys during peak season created strain for grocers. This obstacle inspired the organization of the CWA Turkey Drop, which partnered with St. Matthew’s House and wholesalers to continue the effort to meet the ever-growing need in the community. In 2014, CWA realized the families needed more than a turkey for their holiday meal. So, they decided to add meal boxes with sides to give to each family. In those early years, CWA used their office to receive all the cases of food and assemble the meal boxes there. Their hallways and offices were lined with green beans, stuffing and cranberry sauce! Sourcing large quantities of turkeys and meal box contents became more challenging as the numbers increased, but the families in need were calling. Post-COVID, the southwest Florida area has continued to grow exponentially. So, too, has the homeless and the hungry. But Capital Wealth Advisors and their community partners are committed to helping feed families this year and every year.


Since its inception, CWA and its community partners have donated over 36,000 turkeys to feed families across southwest Florida.


St. Matthew's House

St. Matthew’s House, a faith-based 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, plays a critical role in addressing hunger, homelessness, substance abuse, and poverty in Southwest Florida. Their Food Assistance Program feeds nearly 15,000 people each month, in addition to operating two homeless shelters, temporary housing facilities, thrift stores, and even a commercial catering team. Partnering with St. Matthew’s House ensures that every meal box from the Turkey Drop directly benefits families in need, making a meaningful difference in the community.

7,000 Meals
for the community

As Southwest Florida grows, so does the community’s need. What started with a handful of turkeys is now a cherished tradition, providing thousands of meals to families across the region. On its 20th anniversary, the Beynon family added a new layer of giving, matching contributions, a commitment that continues today.

This year, we are proud to bring a total of 7,000 turkey meal boxes to families in need, helping ensure they can enjoy a warm holiday meal and the joy of the season. Every gift beyond that goal helps us extend our reach even further.

Join Us in Making a Difference


In addition to the CWA Turkey Drop, St. Matthew’s House distributes meals year-round, serving over 300,000 hot meals annually to communities such as Immokalee, Labelle, Alva, Fort Myers, and Naples. By supporting the CWA Turkey Drop, you help families across Southwest Florida share a holiday meal and feel the hope of the season. Together, we can make a lasting impact!
