An effort to help people in rural parishes get healthy meals, which began in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, has reached a milestone with expansion plans on the cards.Director of Community Outreach with Slow Foods Barbados, Julie McNeel, said the organisation’s Slow Soup Drive, which celebrated its 50 000 servings landmark on Monday, needs more resources to make a greater impact on the communities it serves.“We started in April 2020 as a response to the pandemic because we recognised that many Barbadians did not have access to high-quality locally-grown food. We have seen an increased need for the soups we provide three days a week, as well as more access to food generally, so we are hoping to expand our services,” McNeel said.
