Freeport, Grand Bahama
– Grand Bahama Power employees recently donated over 400 toys to aid
the Santa’s Helper’s programme.
Sarah MacDonald, President and CEO of
Grand Bahama Power Company, said, "Our company has always believed
in being involved in the community and during the holiday season we
couldn't think of a better way to help local children and their families.
The employees were challenged to bring
in a gift donation to aid underprivileged children on the island. The
response was overwhelming. "Even in difficult economic times, every
child deserves a Christmas and the Grand Bahama Power Company Family
felt this was a great way to serve our community," said MacDonald
According to Vicky Martell, long time
organizer of the Santa’s Helpers program, “I was happy when GBPC
called and said they would be donating towards our organization this
year, but I did not expect the outpouring of gifts that came from the
employees. This will make such a big difference in the lives of so many
kids this Christmas.”
The Santa Helper’s Program collects
new, unwrapped toys during each year, and distributes them as Christmas
gifts to needy children in the community.
