ThenWhat? Charity wraps up 2024 Christmas Hamper and Toy Drive

ThenWhat? Charity has announced the successful conclusion of its 2024 Christmas Hamper and Toy Drive which culminated on December 14 where they delivered 75 hearty hampers filled with essential items. 

Additionally, more than 150 gifts were distributed to children, spreading joy and holiday cheer throughout several communities.

“This year’s drive was a tireless labour of love but very successful and we’re deeply moved by the outpouring of support from the various donors,” said Samantha Hazlewood-Ermay, Trustee President of ThenWhat? Charity. “The holidays can be a challenging time for many families and it’s heartwarming to see how our community came together to ensure no one was left behind.”

The annual Christmas Hamper and Toy Drive is a cornerstone of ThenWhat? Charity’s mission to uplift and support those in need, particularly during the holiday season. This year’s accomplishments were made possible by the efforts of Emera Caribbean, The Sandals Foundation, UN Volunteers, private contributors, The St Philip’s Primary School, first formers of The St Michael School, Western & Atlantic Marketing, CDB Staff Association, Armstrong Agencies and The Barbados National Oil Company Ltd.

The team at ThenWhat? Charity is already gearing up for an even bigger and better effort in 2025. “We’re incredibly grateful for everyone who made this year’s drive a success and we’re looking forward to continuing this tradition next year,” added Joy Williams-Brome, Trustee Treasurer. “Stay tuned for updates on our plans for 2025, we’re excited to share a fun, year-long activity which will highlight each parish, it will fit perfectly into the ‘We Gathering 2025’ activities as well!” (PR)
