Saunders & Associates Launches 13th Annual Thanksgiving Donation Drive, with All Donations Matched Dollar-for-Dollar

Now in its 13th year and having raised over $300,000 since 2020, Saunders & Associates’ Annual Thanksgiving Donation Drive runs all November through Giving Tuesday, with every dollar matched for Hamptons food pantries.

Saunders & Associates, the Hamptons’ leading local real estate brokerage, is proud to announce its 13th Annual Thanksgiving Donation Drive, running all of November and through Giving Tuesday on December 1 to support food pantries across the East End. Every dollar donated will be matched dollar-for-dollar by Colleen and Andrew Saunders, and 100% of all funds will go directly to Hamptons food pantries.

Since 2014, the firm has led this effort to help local families through the holiday season. Last year’s drive met and exceeded its goal, raising $62,000, among the most successful in its history. This year, Saunders & Associates is aiming to exceed its $50,000 goal once again and to top last year’s record total.

“Last year’s record showed what this community can do. We’re grateful for that support, and we look forward to exceeding our $50,000 goal again and even surpassing last year’s total. Cash donations let the pantries do what they do best: serve those in need,” said Steve Glick, Senior Vice President of Marketing.

Last year’s success was driven by 100% staff participation across Saunders & Associates and New York Title, as well as support from agents, partners, and neighbors throughout the Hamptons. With the drive continuing through Giving Tuesday (December 1, 2026), it’s a great day to give back, and every contribution helps local families head into the winter with the support they need.

Donations will be distributed to the following local organizations from Westhampton to Montauk: Bridgehampton Community Food Pantry, Bridgehampton Child Care and Recreational Center, Church of the Immaculate Conception in Westhampton Beach, East Hampton Food Pantry, Springs Food Pantry, Montauk Food Pantry, Heart of the Hamptons Southampton Food Pantry, Hampton Bays Food Pantry, and Shelter Island Food Pantry.

“Every year, I am reminded of the generosity and community engagement of our agents, staff, and everyone who donates. After more than a decade of holding the Thanksgiving Food Drive, we know how important the funds raised are for those in need during the holidays. We want to thank everyone who has given this year and in the past,” Colleen Saunders concludes.

How to Give

Monetary donations of any size are appreciated and will be matched 1:1 by Colleen and Andrew Saunders. Donating is fast and easy using our GoFundMe. Corporate and community groups are encouraged to organize team gifts.
