After the eruption of La Soufrière on April 9 spurred up to 20,000 of St. Vincent s 100,000 inhabitants to evacuate, a nearby Baptist church is providing hundreds of meals while relief agencies bring supplies to the eastern Caribbean island nation.
Kingstown Baptist Church pastor, Rev. Cecil Richards, is working with church members to help feed victims who have been evacuated from their homes, with some 170 meals being prepared immediately after the blast for distribution from his church s kitchen to evacuees at the southern end of the main island.
