SNF spearheads “Bread Basket” which benefits those affected by COVID-19

The Sonia Noel Foundation and Women Across Borders have teamed up with Le Treats Bakery in another exciting initiative called “Bread Basket”.
The main objective of this charitable mission is to provide complimentary bread, buns, and sandwiches weekly to people who are in need.
The project started a few months ago and was triggered by the challenges faced due to the pandemic. The bread is given to community leaders to distribute to their communities on Fridays.
“We believe this small gesture of benevolence can benefit less fortunate communities around our beautiful country Guyana. Let’s ‘break bread’ with our underprivileged and demonstrate that we are our brother’s keeper in this land of six races,” Founder of Women Across Borders, Sonia Noel stated.
Many areas within Region Four and Eight as well as various communities in Berbice, Linden, Kwakwani have benefited thus far with more to be added to the list in the coming weeks.
The divine order America-based Guyanese co-author of Women Across Borders, Desiree De Florimonte related “I believe in making lives better and this is an honour to contribute to Bread Basket. I applaud Sonia for this initiative”.
The bread goes to families and the buns and sandwiches with a beverage (compliments CIDI and Lipton Tea) go to the homeless.
“What a difference one bread can make and to be a part of this mission and a co-author for Women Across Borders is a big blessing to my life,” New York-based Trinidadian Leela Ramasir stated.
Initiatives such as these can effectively improve our neighbourhoods and communities. It can also prevent people from going hungry, she added.
Sonia Noel Foundation has the vision to add other items to this project and would have expressed gratitude to those who have and continue to support it.
“Experiencing the smiles on the faces and the display of gratitude when the homeless are given something to eat tugs at my heartstring. So, I don’t have any pic to share because we decided not to take a single pic with anyone during this mission,” Noel added.
Joanne Prescod, the owner of Le Treats Bakery, has collaborated with SNF before and was happy to be included in another meaningful project since she believes in giving back.
