San Jose Construction (Bahamas) Ltd distributed grocery gift certificates to primary schools in the Grand Bahama and Bimini district to assist students of struggle families during Christmas.
Margo Victor, manager of San Jose, presented a total of 40 gift certificates to nine public schools throughout the island, and to one institution on Bimini.
She said families in GB and Bimini are struggling during these tough economic times as a result of recent major crises - Hurricane Dorian and COVID-19.
“It breaks our heart to see families with small children grapple with the challenges of a bad economy, said Mrs Victor. And Since Dorian and the COVID-19 shut down, families have been worried about mortgages, rent, utility bills and even everyday challenges.”
