FREEPORT, Grand Bahama – Three charities in Grand Bahama, on Tuesday, were the recipients of non-perishable food items from the Northern Region Public Service Month Planning Committee and the Ministry of Public Service.

In a presentation at the Department of Immigration Laurie Bullard, chairperson of the planning committee, said during the month of October, the Northern Region Public Service celebrated its 15th Annual Public Service and Recognition of Retirees Month. The celebration was held under the theme, “Charting the Course, Serving the Nation, Securing the Future”.

Among the activities hosted to celebrate the month was a food drive. This was held among the various public officers from all of the Ministries and Departments represented on Grand Bahama who were invited to donate non-perishable food items to be donated to local charities.

She said, “today, we are pleased to announce that the food drive has been a tremendous success and wish to thank all Heads of Government Ministries and Departments, public officers and quasi-government agencies who participated to help make the project a success.”

Ms. Bullard further stated it was all with the objective of ‘Charting the Course, Serving the Nation, Securing the Future’ for our Precious Pearls, the elderly who have made their contribution to society and charted the course for us to be here today, and [for] ‘our precious gems’ the young.”
