Each and every staff member in all of the ministry\u2019s divisions and units were asked to donate towards this cause.\u00a0 Additionally, other stakeholders such as farmers also donated and contributed. \u201cI am happy to say that the amount of dried food items and vegetables donated surpassed my expectations\u201d, said Marcelle Freeland, Liaison Officer \u2013 MAFBA.<\/p>\n

The food items donated ranged from canned items such as milk, sausages, corn, sardines and tuna to name a few.\u00a0 Packets of rice, sugar, noodles and pasta, bottles of coffee, tomato ketchup, and cooking oil \u00a0were also given by the some staff members while from farmers fresh produce such as lettuce, butternut, sieve and thyme were also received for the worthy cause.\u00a0 The Ministry intends to donate the collected foods to three institutions that are in need of any support and assistance available.<\/p>\n
