To commemorate the firm’s 40^th year in business we undertook a number of initiatives in 2021 to give back to the community that helped us reach this momentous milestone. We would like to take a moment to reflect back on all of the great causes we were able to help support and thank the members of Benson Buffett who helped make this happen.

April – Easter Seals Dance Day

Members of the firm dusted off their dancing shoes and participated in the Easter Seals Dance Day in support of people with disabilities in NL.

May – Defeat Depression Walk \ Big Brothers and Sisters

Members of Benson Buffett participated in a fundraiser by walking around Quid Vidi Lake to raise money for the Pottle Centre and all they do to help those with mental illness.

June – Choices for Youth

In June, we contacted Choices for Youth and asked how we could help and they indicated to us that they were in desperate need of bags, towels, and toiletries.  We were very pleased to be able to make a generous donation of 50 tote bags filled with the requested items.

July – Zimbabwe Project

We have been assisting the Zimbabwe Adopt-A-Village Project for over 10 years. As part of our 40^th anniversary year, we helped fill a 40-foot shipping container with medical, school, and community supplies. The container will leave St. John’s for Tshelanyemba Hospital sometime in 2022.

August – Candle Lighters \ Emmaus House

Emmaus House is an inner-city food bank that operates with the assistance of five parishes in the downtown area. Benson Buffett was pleased to make a donation to support this very important cause.

September – Jimmy Pratt Soup Kitchen

In September, we visited the Jimmy Pratt Memorial Outreach Centre to present them with our donation. We had originally planned to hold a bbq as well but, unfortunately, Covid restrictions forced us to postpone that plan.

 October – SPCA

Benson Buffett helped out our furry friends by supporting the SPCA through the donation of blankets, pet food, and litter for the animals.

November –  Ronald McDonald House

Benson Buffett provided financial support to this very important cause.

December – Food Drive, Salvation Army

For the last 12 years, Benson Buffett has supported our local Salvation Army’s food bank through both monetary and non-perishable food donations. This year we continued the tradition and supported this great cause once again.
