Giftland spreads Christmas cheer in Tiger Bay
– launches “12 deals of Christmas”
Giftland Officemax in spreading the Christmas cheer visited the Tiger Bay community yesterday where they donated $300,000 in gifts.
Present at the event assisting with distribution of hampers were songstress Michelle ‘Big Red’ King and comedian Kirk Jardine popularly known as ‘Chow Pow’.
“In an effort to assist with their Christmas spending we decided to provide food items like last year, which we were successful in reaching two hundred children,” Compton Babb, Giftland Officemax Public Relations Officer said.
Giftland Officemax Public Relations Manager, Compton Babb gives out one of the hampers to a family in the Tiger Bay community.
The event was held at the West End Community Center, 34 Hope Street, South Cummingsburg, obliquely opposite New Thriving Restaurant.
“The goal is to reach every Orphanage and shelter, making a renowned presence in their lives. It is heartwarming to demonstrate today that Giftland Cares, providing every home with Christmas Cheers. Everyone has their part to play in building a caring community. Virtually everyone at some point in their lives will need to be cared for by that community. The community is us. If it’s denied the nourishment it needs for survival, it will fail to flourish. A plant without water will die and so too will the spirit of our community,” Babb said.
Giftland OfficeMax also launched their “12 Deals of Christmas” with donations to 12 Orphanages.
The Homes that received donations were: Berbice Anjuman Orphanage, Camal Home for Battered Women & Children, Hauraruni Girls Home, Joshua Children’s Centre, Red Cross Convalescent Homes, Shaheed Girls Orphanage, St. Ann’s Girls Orphanage, Drop-in-Centre for Children, Cornelia Ida Children’s Home, Ruimveldt Children’s Home, Divine Charitable Society, Enmore and The Palms.
