AML Foods Limited recently distributed $50,317 in food vouchers to feeding programs in New Providence, Grand Bahama, and Exuma, as part of its annual Feed 5000 holiday give-back initiative. The company contributed $30,000, and an additional $15,317 was raised at the registers from customers shopping at Solomon’s, Cost Right, Fresh Market, Exuma Markets, and Domino’s Pizza. Furthermore, a generous donation of $5,000 from Insurance Management significantly supported the initiative, highlighting the importance of collaborative community partnerships.

The recipients of the Holiday Meal Packages included The Bahamas Feeding Network, The Grand Bahama chapter of the Bahamas Red Cross, and The Exuma Foundation in Georgetown, Exuma.

Since the launch of the Feed 5000 Program in 2016, AML has raised and distributed almost $600,000 in food vouchers to charitable organizations, providing almost 15,000 Christmas Meals, and feeding more than 60,000 Bahamians in need during the holiday season.

Nicolette Archer, President of The Bahamas Feeding Network said, “We are incredibly grateful to AML Foods and their Feed5000 initiative for the generous support they have provided during the holiday season for the past 9 years. The $50 food vouchers we were able to distribute made a significant difference to families who turn to our food shelter during Christmas. This partnership enables us to extend our reach and provide much-needed assistance to those struggling to make ends meet. We are deeply thankful for AML Foods’ commitment to helping those less fortunate in our community, and we look forward to continuing to work together to bring hope and support to even more families”.

Renea Bastian, VP of Marketing and Communications, said, “Supporting persons experiencing food insecurity is extremely important to AML and we remain steadfast in our fight to eliminate hunger in the communities that we serve. My sincere thanks go out to our customers and corporate sponsors who continue to support the program year after year”.
