Florida Trust Wealth Management proudly served as a \u201cMagical Winter Wonderland\u201d sponsor for Community Housing & Resources (CHR) 2025 Festival of Trees, which took place the week before Thanksgiving at Sanibel Community House.<\/p>\n
The beloved annual fundraiser brought the community together to celebrate the start of the holiday season while raising support for CHR\u2019s mission to provide and sustain affordable housing for island residents \u2014 including seniors, families and essential workers. Guests enjoyed 20 beautifully decorated trees and 18 wreaths, spirited bidding during both live and silent auctions and a paddle raise supporting CHR\u2019s Riverview housing project.<\/p>\n
The Riverview housing project will consist of 15 one bedroom, one bath apartments when completed.<\/p>\n
Al Hanser, founder and chairman of Florida Trust Wealth Management, shared his appreciation for CHR\u2019s role in the community. \u201cCHR is a cornerstone of Sanibel and Captiva\u2019s long-term strength,\u201d he said. \u201cWe were honored to support an organization that provides stability and opportunity for the people who make our islands thrive.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCHR\u2019s work is invaluable, and what a great event this is for our community,\u201d commented Jeff Muddell, Sanibel\u2013Captiva president of Florida Trust. \u201cThe Festival of Trees brings us together for a joyful cause, and we were proud to continue our partnership to help ensure accessible housing for those who serve our islands every day.\u201d<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s festivities began with a well-attended Community Day on November 21, where families enjoyed arts and crafts, refreshments, children\u2019s activities and visits with Santa and the Grinch. The weekend-long celebration created memorable moments for residents and visitors alike while supporting an essential community mission.<\/p>\n
