The insurance company last Saturday April 2, 2016 held food drives outside of One Mart in Port Purcell and Riteway Supermarkets in Pasea and collected a sizeable amount of foodstuff and other items.

Shaquillra K. Smith, Marketing Executive of Nagico Insurances, said the company is always very active in the community and is keen on giving back.

"So we came out to do a food drive to help those less fortunate who can't purchase these items on their own. So we jumped at the opportunity," said Smith who was stationed at the Riteway Supermarket in Pasea.

She added that the drive was well supported by the community and she thanked all those who donated to the food drive in aid of the Family Support Network.

Smith said that while the drive was to end at 2:00 pm, she said they stayed open later to facilitate persons donating.

"You would have seen in the news that their pantry is running a bit low so whatever we could do to facilitate donations to help that we would," she said.

Another Nagico staffer Selicia Corea, who was stationed at One Mart in Port Purcell, said they have been seeing a steady stream of both perishable and non perishable items being donated.

"We had a good turnout. We have a good set of items here and we think it has been a successful day," she said.

The items were handed over to the Director of Family Support Network, Dr Sylvia M. Simmonds that very afternoon.
