In an effort to “give back” to the community in which they serve, staff members of Scotiabank, Robb Street branch, yesterday executed two community projects, a ‘can drive’ for Food for the Poor, and a clothing drive for Guyana Relief Council.
According to Justine Lee, an employee who played an integral part in the activity, the initiative is stemmed from the fact that each Scotiabank branch must execute some form of community service annually. “Thus, this is one of the many we have planned for this year”.
The employees who acted as humanitarians pooled resources to give back to the community in which “we serve”. For the can drive, each staff member brought two cans of the same food item whilst bringing bundles of clothing to aid in the relief to the unfortunate.
Staff members present at the donations were Jesmond Williams, Chikere Stewart, Avril Husbands and Justine Lee.
On behalf of Food for the Poor, Director, Leon Davis, was presented with the items. Davis mentioned his gratitude to the Team and expressed that he is looking forward to future support form members of the team. He said that he hopes other institutions will be urged to come on board. The donation is said to be the first donation from the group to Food for the Poor.
However, “it will not be the last”.
Ms. Carter received the donation on behalf of the Guyana Relief Council. She said that she is thankful for the support that have been continuous.. The donation is said to be the third towards Guyana Relief Council.
The team in consensus said that Scotiabank Robb Street would continue to give back to the community and humanity as a whole.
