Scotiabank plans Flea Market Sale for YEP
The bank has requested used and new items to be dropped off at its Wickhams Cay location in time for the sale, which is scheduled to take place at 10 A.M at the parking lots by the old market.
Stacy C. Abraham-Lloyd, Management Banking Trainee at Scotiabank, explained that donations could come in the form of household goods and appliances. These can include books, CDs, DVDs, clothes (no undergarments), shoes, sanitary items, toys and furniture. “As long as they are in good [and] usable condition,” she said.
Although donations are requested to be made at the Wickhams Cay branch, persons can also drop off items at the commercial department of the bank located above LIME on Fleming Street.
Mrs Abraham-Lloyd expressed, “Scotiabank, as most persons know, our corporate responsibility definitely falls under the umbrella of supporting the youths; we have been supporting the Youth Empowerment Programme for the past five years.”
She further stated that one of Scotiabank’s mandates is to constantly give back to the community, “we believe in giving back and contributing to the youths,” she added.
The money raised through the fundraiser will go towards YEP to purchase office supplies, equipment and computers, among other things.
This year, Scotiabank’s employees decided to do something more meaningful and also expressed a desire to get more involved rather than just making a monetary donation.
