CIBC donates to SVG’s Relief effort
Some of the items that comprised the donation from CIBC.
As the region rallies to assist the thousands of people in St. Vincent and the Grenadines displaced by the eruption of the La Soufriere Volcano, CIBC FirstCaribbean has sent a shipment of much needed supplies to the island.
The shipment which was coordinated by the Barbados Coast Guard left the island on Thursday (April 15) evening aboard the Admiral Bay and arrived in St. Vincent early Friday (April 16) morning , for presentation to the National Emergency Management Organisation (NEMO).
The relief supplies which include over 40 pallets of food, water, cleaning supplies and sanitary items were purchased by funds donated by the bank’s charitable arm the FirstCaribbean International ComTrust Foundation.
