Cyclists ride for the less fortunate and homeless in soup kitchen fundraiser
Spread the love
By Neto Baptiste
Cyclists across Antigua have been pedaling for a cause this month, as they join forces with
Veldon Raguette in an effort to raise EC$10,000 for the Soup Kitchen located at the Craft Market in St John’s.
Spearheading the effort is
Venessa Kelsick, a women’s cyclist and owner of Pillars Natural, a local company which produces energy bars.
“Since Covid, the Soup Kitchen had not only been feeding the homeless but it is just that some people just could not afford a meal. Initially they used to feed about 30 to 35 people, but since Covid they have been feeding around 70 to 75 persons daily. This whole issue has touched my heart and, forming a new company, I decided that this is one way that Pillars Naturals will be able to give back,” she said.
