In a unique club initiative, 157 Blessings in a Box have been assembled and are ready for Rotary Club of Freeport members to distribute to the elderly and disabled on Grand Bahama. With an initial $4000 donation, food was purchased in the US and shipped to the island.
Five Star Shipping covered the cost of shipping, clearance and contributed financially to the project.
Club members assembled the boxes at Five Star and they are now ready to go.
