The Caring Hands Community Centre has announced the remarkable success of its Fifth Annual Back-to-School Giveaway, held for the students of the Morris Vanterpool and Vivien Vanterpool Primary Schools. This annual initiative, which has now become a cornerstone event in the Island Harbour community, continues to provide students with the tools they need to start the school year prepared and inspired.
This year’s event was met with overwhelming support from sponsors, community members, and volunteers who contributed their time, resources, and generosity. Hundreds of students received backpacks, school supplies, and words of encouragement to help them begin the academic year with confidence.
Caring Hands Community Centre extends its deepest gratitude to Mr. Joseph “JoeB” Williams, tireless supporter and driving force behind this initiative, along with his network of friends, coworkers, doctors, and colleagues abroad.
