NASSAU, BAHAMAS The Christmas season just got a little brighter for the Bahamas AIDS Foundation with the donation of more than 100 food boxes through a partnership with the IL Cares Foundation, Verizon Media Group (VMG) and Paramount Systems Limited (PSL).
AIDS Foundation President Camille Lady Barnett said the donation will impact some 40 families, around 150 people, who depend on the organization’s daily feeding programs that have been challenged due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

MARC Johnson had to borrow his brother’s bicycle in order to join the line and collect a box at the IL Cares Foundation’s drive through food drive yesterday.
The 41-year-old has been out of work since March. Mr Johnson says the box of food will feed his family of three adults and six children.
“The first time I walked up, they told me I needed to either get a car or a bike or something in order for me to get something,” said Mr Johnson.
He was one of scores of people who turned out for the second week of the foundation’s food drive at the Queen Elizabeth Sports Centre. When The Tribune arrived, traffic was backed up on the road leading to the Thomas A Robinson Stadium, echoing similar scenes from last week.
