A new refrigerator donated by the Lions Club of Antigua and Cool & Smooth Store will help the Zion Church of God expand and strengthen its feeding programme for vulnerable residents.

The EC$8,500 appliance was presented to the church on North Street, St. John’s, and will support the preparation and storage of meals served through the outreach initiative.

For more than 35 years, the church has provided meals to people in need across Antigua. Every Wednesday, volunteers prepare more than 45 lunches, with Lions Club members assisting in delivering the meals throughout the community.

The Lions Club contributes more than EC$21,000 annually to the programme and also supplies vegetables harvested from its community garden on Upper Church Street.

Church volunteers thanked both the Lions Club and Cool & Smooth Store for their continued support of the initiative and their contribution to efforts aimed at reducing hunger.
