This is our opportunity to give back to the community that has supported us so well.
The Grand Bahama Children's Home, The Home for the Aged and The Bahamas Dept of Social Services, Grand Bahama have been selected because of their longstanding reputations for assisting those who really need it. We have involved The Department of Social Services because we wanted to directly assist a family, and they stepped up to the plate with the name of a family under their supervision that met our requirements.
Everybody knows that Whirlpool is the global leader in the field of home appliances, So we are grateful the Whirlpool has joined forces with us in a such a big way. It was very important that the washer be Energy Efficient and this what we are providing.
This donation is just the tip of our Iceberg, next week the entire island will benefit in a huge way (although I'm no at liberty to provide full details at this time), I advise all to watch ZNS News and read the Freeport news for the exciting details that will impact the entire island of Grand Bahama.

We are appealing for persons to come forward and hopefully welcome our children with open arms for the holidays" proclaimed Patrice Mack, Administrator at the Department of Social Services as she thanked Dolly Madison for the donation to a family in need.
