VI businesses give back to vulnerable families
According to a release from the Government Information Service (GIS) today, May 14, 2019, Team Leader of Family, Children and Protective Services, Ms Laurel Freeman thanked the businesses and stated that she is grateful for the continued support of the Virgin Islands community to protect the children and to support vulnerable families.
Ms Freeman explained that families will benefit from the donations and extended an invitation to those who may need additional support to contact the Social Development Department for assistance.
Partners who donated were Nova Vita Apparels, LSL Bakery and Student Tutoring and Resource Centre (STARC). A considerable portion of proceeds collected from activities held in April such as the ‘Every Child Matters’ tee-shirts, Blue Cupcake Fridays and Family Movie Night will go towards families in need.
