Toronto, ON – September 25, 2024
CARI-ON SVG Disaster Preparedness is proud to announce the successful delivery of $50,000 worth of disaster relief goods to St. Vincent and the Grenadines as part of ongoing recovery efforts following Hurricane Beryl. The shipment, which included essential food items, non-perishables, clothing, and larger goods like bathtubs, was delivered with the support of the Lion’s Clubs of South St. Vincent and Union Island, ensuring these supplies reached those in need.
We extend heartfelt thanks to the Toronto community, Consul General Fitzgerald Huggins, the SVGAT group, St. Vincent Support Group of Toronto, KLC Freight, and Arabesque Inc. CEO Aaron Crichton for their help with transportation and logistics. Special recognition goes to Janiel George, President of Lion’s Club Kingstown, and Margaret Wilson of Lion’s Club Union Island, for their leadership in receiving the shipment. Samantha Bailey played a key role in coordinating the delivery and ensuring smooth transportation of goods to Union Island.
This is the first of two shipments, with the second scheduled for dispatch on September 26, 2024. While we celebrate this milestone, the reconstruction process is far from over. We urgently need additional household goods, construction materials, and monetary donations to support long-term recovery.
A heartfelt thank you to the dedicated members of CARI-ON for their unwavering commitment.
Together, we stand united in helping St. Vincent and the Grenadines rebuild after Hurricane Beryl.
