NASSAU, BAHAMAS — AML Foods Limited recently distributed $50,317 in food vouchers to feeding programs in New Providence, Grand Bahama, and Exuma as part of its annual Feed 5000 holiday give-back initiative. The company contributed $30,000, with an additional $15,317 raised through customer donations at Solomon’s, Cost Right, Fresh Market, Exuma Markets, and Domino’s Pizza. A $5,000 donation from Insurance Management further supported the initiative, highlighting the impact of community partnerships.
The recipients of the holiday meal packages included The Bahamas Feeding Network, the Grand Bahama chapter of the Bahamas Red Cross, and The Exuma Foundation in Georgetown, Exuma.
Since the Feed 5000 program launched in 2016, AML has raised and distributed nearly $600,000 in food vouchers, providing almost 15,000 Christmas meals and feeding more than 60,000 Bahamians in need during the holiday season.
Nicolette Archer, president of The Bahamas Feeding Network, expressed gratitude for AML Foods’ ongoing support. “The $50 food vouchers we were able to distribute made a significant difference to families who turn to our food shelter during Christmas. This partnership enables us to extend our reach and provide much-needed assistance to those struggling to make ends meet. We are deeply thankful for AML Foods’ commitment to helping those less fortunate in our community, and we look forward to continuing to work together to bring hope and support to even more families.”

My sincere thanks go out to our customers and corporate sponsors who continue to support the program year after year.”
