The Global Shapers – Bridgetown Hub has completed a third food drive on the behalf of the HIV/AIDS Food Bank to assist the charity with needed food supplies during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. On this occasion donations were generously provided by The Crane Resort, the oldest continuously operating hotel in the Caribbean.
Curator of the Global Shapers – Bridgetown Hub Camille Wiltshire said: “We are thrilled to be able to spread some joy this Christmas season through our Food Drive initiative. The Bridgetown Hub donated items earlier this year with our first drive providing food stuff to aid in COVID-19 relief in July, and a follow-up drive provided toiletries in August. We were committed to completing a final drive before year end in time for the holidays, and to this end, we contacted partners in various industries to assist us with our initiative.
