BTC has given over $50,000 in donations and support just for Christmas.

Over 30 organisations throughout the country received donations enabling them to lend a helping hand for those in need, according to a press release from BTC.

The Boy’s Brigade in Inagua, the Senior Citizens Recreational Centre in Long Island, The Old Bight Mission Home in Cat Island, Lovely’s Feed the Children project in Abaco and the Beacon School for exceptional learners in Grand Bahama are among the organisations in the Family Islands to receive donations. In New Providence, the Great Commission Ministries and The Bahamas Red Cross are among the recipients.

“Giving back is a part of the DNA of this company. We appreciate the support of the public and we take every opportunity to show just how much their support means to us. In all things, it is important that we continue to be our brother’s keeper. There are so many people in this country that have been met with difficult times, especially since the passing of Hurricane Matthew. We hope that this small deed of kindness extends where it should to help those in need,” said Leon Williams, CEO.

In addition to sponsorships and events, BTC continues to give back to the community wherever it can. BTC also has its iVolunteer programme, which lends a helping hand to support community initiatives. Recently, the programme delivered lunch to the homes of over 100 retirees in Grand Bahama and New Providence for Thanksgiving Day, an American holiday. The iVolunteer Programme will host children from various homes throughout the country for a special Christmas party on December 23. The iVolunteer team, through its partnership with the Kiwanis Club, will deliver Christmas meals to over 50 families on Christmas morning.
