HEALTH & NUTRITION

Maxfield Park Primary School

Food donations made monthly to Maxfield Park Primary School continued throughout the year despite schools being closed due to the pandemic. Instead of the items being used to prepare breakfast for the students each morning, they were packaged and collected by the parents of the students to prepare meals at home.

Alpha Institute

We worked with the administration at Alpha Institute to ensure that the monthly food donations were being collected by the students. Students were coming in on a phased basis so that every student was at school at least once a week. The Guidance department used the opportunity to check in on each student’s well being and provided targeted assistance accordingly. Each student was given a food package to take home. In the case of surplus, packages were given to Alpha's brother school, St. John Bosco Institute for Career Advancement in Mandeville. St John Bosco is a place of safety for that area and provides housing and meals to 20 boys aged eight to 16-years-old.
