“There are two objectives of the committee at present. These include weekly food runs to deliver meat, food for the daily meals, toilet paper and to cater to the day-to-day needs of people living in the shelters” – Collins said.

“There will also be a major caravan on Christmas eve to deliver Toys to the children, clothing, cakes, pastries, food and other items” – Collins added.

The promotion of the effort will be done jointly by the staff of WEFM and STAR FM.

Members of the public are asked to drop off food, clothing and other supplies, as wells as toys, at Phil, located at the Central Market in Kingstown, opposite the Court house.
