Community Hamper Delivery

Newly established non-profit organization, Project Plant A Seed (PPAS) reached out to various community leaders and village councils in an effort to assist any households in need of grocery items. Two barrels of dry food items were received in November 2021, sponsored by anonymous donors out of the United States. Food Hampers were delivered to several communities across the country on Saturday December 18, 2021.

The households targeted included large families as well as single persons. Communities in the south of the island were Trafalgar and Bath Estate. Families in the villages of Horseback Ridge and Crayfish River, within the Kalinago Territory, were visited. As well as, households in the town of Marigot, and the area of Melville Hall.Families in the communities of Chance, Glanvilla and Picard were also targeted with food hampers.The food hampers included dry starched goods, canned meats and cereals, and snacks for the young ones.Information from each household was gathered in order to revisit and provide additional support to their individual needs.
