Residents of St. Mary’s South were treated to a heartfelt gesture of community spirit on Friday as Labour Queen delegate Amiaha James joined Senator Dwayne George and the St. Mary’s South Branch for a food drive that brought warmth, both literal and symbolic, to the constituency.
The initiative, aimed at supporting individuals and families in need, saw the distribution of traditional, home-cooked meals lovingly prepared by volunteers. The menu featured a variety of cherished local favourites including ducana, fungi, saltfish, mackerel, chop-up, and an assortment of dumplings—white, potato, and coconut.
According to organisers, the food drive was more than a charitable gesture; it was a demonstration of solidarity and care at the grassroots level.
“This was about more than just providing a hot meal,” said Senator George. “It was about connecting with our people, reminding them that they are seen, valued, and supported.”
Delegate Amiaha James echoed that sentiment, describing the experience as humbling and energising. “It was a joy to be among the people, sharing love through food and fellowship. This is what community means.”
Grateful recipients expressed appreciation for the effort, noting that the meals brought comfort and uplifted spirits in challenging times.
The organisers say the initiative is part of an ongoing commitment to address the everyday needs of constituents while fostering a culture of compassion and unity.
