Nassau, Bahamas – December 18, 2024– This holiday season, the Nassau Airport Development Company (NAD) is spreading goodwill by partnering with the Bahamas Feeding Network (BFN) to support those in need. From now through February, guests passing through Lynden Pindling International Airport (LPIA) can help make a difference by contributing to donation bins placed in the US Departures and International/Domestic Departures terminals.
NAD’s partnership with BFN aims to bring joy and relief to Bahamian families struggling with food security issues. Give Change is an ongoing LPIA initiative that encourages guests and residents to donate spare change or small cash amounts to worthy causes. The program is particularly ideal for international guests who may not want to carry back Bahamian currency to their home destination. All donations collected during the quarter will go directly to BFN, helping the organization provide meals to those in need.
“As we approach the holidays, a season known for togetherness and giving, our decision to partner with the Bahamas Feeding Network reflects our commitment to supporting those in the community who are facing hardships,” said Jan Knowles, Vice President of Marketing and Commercial Development at NAD. “Through our Give Change initiative, we’re providing a way for guests, residents and our airport community to share a small act of kindness that can have a big impact. Together, we can help make this season brighter for many Bahamian families, particularly during a time when it is very busy in terminal.”
Nicolette Fountain Archer, Executive Director of the Bahamas Feeding Network, expressed her gratitude for the partnership:
“On behalf of the Bahamas Feeding Network, I would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to NAD for allowing us to be the recipients of the donation bins at the airport. Your commitment to aiding those in need in our community is deeply appreciated. We also want to thank all of the travelers and residents who will contribute to this initiative. Every dollar counts, and we encourage everyone to consider throwing in a dollar or two during their travels. Together, we can make a significant difference in the lives of those who rely on our services. Hunger hurts, but together we can wipe it out!”
Every contribution, whether it’s spare change or a few dollars, will help the Bahamas Feeding Network continue its vital work of providing meals to individuals and families in The Bahamas.
