Claudette Bryan and Diedra Bradshaw welcomed Jervis Richardson of Digicel Anguilla to the AXA Cares Food Bank and explained its goals of providing nutritious basic food supplies to families on Anguilla who for whatever reason are in need of some assistance.
Started under the sponsorship of The HOPE Centre and the Island Harbour/East End Community Group, in late December 2011 the Food Bank has been able to provide on a frequent basis food supplies to up to 85 families in each delivery.
Othlyn Vanterpool one of the community volunteers from around the island explained their acceptance to pick up prepared boxes of food and delivery to the families in their particular community.
Mr. Richardson of Digicel presented their monthly support check to Mrs Bryan and expressed it gratitude to the Food Bank for assistance given to Anguillians who are frequently forgotten in our busy lives.
It is only with the support from businesses such as Digicel, a number of individual caring persons and help from Ashley’s, Lakes Supermarket, JW Proctors, Best Buy, Merchants Market, The Lutheran Church and the Anguilla Optimist Club, David Hodge at The Tropical Flower, Unique Trading that the Food Bank is able to continue its efforts.
On behalf of the families who greatly appreciate the food received, The Food Bank wishes to thank Digicel and all donors for their assistance.
