It’s the season for giving and a Bahamian collegiate tennis player, Sydney Clarke, is doing just that. She is home from college for the Christmas holidays and has started a food and toy drive for the Bahamas Children’s Emergency Hostel, set for Tuesday December 22, at the Bahamas Lawn Tennis Association’s (BLTA) National Tennis Complex at the Queen Elizabeth Sports Centre.

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.
