In keeping with its mandate to assist and help in the alleviation of poverty, Food for the Poor (Guyana) Incorporated has taken food supplies and clothing as well as toiletries and vitamins and in some cases water, to several communities.
This effort that has been ongoing over the last three months has seen the distribution of items to more than 23 communities including Silver Hill in Linden, Tenaboo Demerara River, Mahaica, Rivers’ View, West Bank, and several East Coast communities including Buxton.
This stemmed from Food for the Poor’s efforts to reach all communities and persons in need as opposed to one set of people who often flock to the main office that are from communities in the environs closest to the location.
Leon Davis, head of the NGO said “we will continue to move into different areas… we feel the need to get the goods to people in an expeditious manner. We go to the location for an assessment then we return to meet the people with their specific needs. The group is also taking medical assistance to some communities and the next stop is Leguan. This drive will continue to the end of the year. We are moving to Berbice soon as well as Linden, and if all goes well, residents at 58 miles will also benefit.”
The items were distributed by donors while others were purchased by Food for the Poor.
Jimeel Davis, Personal Assistant to the Executive Director, also issued a call for all businesses and organizations to join in the exercise. Distributions will also be done at the head office 1999-2002 Blue Mountain Road Festival City before month end.
