The Rotary Club of St.Maarten co-ordinated the second annual food distribution project for those who less fortunate in our community.
As a result of the overwhelming response the club decided to make this an annual event and to schedule delivery on 11 November, St. Maarten’s Day.
There were a total of 120 food hampers prepared this year. The hampers included non perishable food items such as rice, flour, milk, sugar, mixed vegetables, sausage, beans and mac and cheese. There are children and families who continually deal with food insecurity and the Bishop Ellis Foundation has made a significant difference in their lives. As such, they were given 50 food hampers. The balance, 70 hampers were distributed between the Helping Hands Foundation, the White & Yellow Cross, and the Haitian Church Community.
