JS Johnson and Company recently sponsored the purchase of a new refrigerated panel truck to assist the feeding efforts of Hands for Hunger.

The 2019 Hyundai truck becomes the second vehicle in the H4H fleet and provides an additional 500 cubic feet of carrying capacity.

“We’ve long supported the great work of Hands for Hunger,” said JS Johnson managing director Alister McKellar. “And we’re proud to make the type of contribution that directly helps Bahamians at a time when so many have been severely impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.”

JS Johnson employees regularly volunteer at H4H events, and the organisation’s annual Paradise Plates fundraiser.

“JS Johnson is one of Hands for Hunger’s most generous and reliable corporate partners,” said H4H executive director Keisha Ellis. “The company has made significant contributions to our work, and its generosity has yielded tangible results for the communities we serve.”

Since the COVID-19 state of emergency was declared in March, Hands for Hunger has delivered more than 150,000lbs of food.
