(PRESS RELEASE) GREAT NECK, NY — Award winning New-York based jewelry designer Samuel B. announced it has just surpassed the 1 million meals mark donated to Feeding America.

Before the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown across the globe, Samuel B. was making plans to give back by opening a school in Bali. When the pandemic hit, the plans were put on pause. During the lockdown, Samuel B. VP of Sales and Marketing Mathew Behnam’s neighborhood in Brooklyn opened a food bank at a local elementary school. Mathew recalls that at that moment he realized the need to provide nourishment to families was unquestionable.

So Behnam and Samuel B. reached out to non-profit group Feeding America, the nation’s largest domestic hunger-relief organization. The company knew they wanted to do something big, and with a lot of perseverance, they became a partner with Feeding America and agreed to donate 10 meals for every piece of jewelry sold to its vast network of independent retailers.

In May of 2020, Samuel B. launched the initiative, providing its independent retailers with signage explaining the partnership with Feeding America and working to ensure communities in need have enough to eat.

“We stand together with Feeding America alongside our retail partners, proud that to date, over one million meals have been provided to help people in need. Our company continues to donate 10 meals for every piece of jewelry purchased, and remains committed to the largest domestic hunger relief organization,” stated Mathew.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
