THE Garage Drive-in Bar and Grill on Aubrey Barker Road, South Ruimveldt Gardens, Georgetown, on Sunday distributed over 2,000 kites to children from surrounding neighbourhoods as part of its annual “Easter Give Back”.

The fast-food outlet was transformed into an entertainment hub. Mayor Ubraj Narine was among those present at the charitable event which provided meals, bouncy castle and other refreshments to the children.

The Garage Drive-in Bar and Grill has been giving back to the public ever since its opening and, according to proprietor Estwick Northe, other companies have since joined the effort.

This year, the businessman said the Garage partnered with a number of agencies including Cevon’s Waste Management, Dynasty Night Club, Wine Days and Hopkinson Mining, among others, to make the event possible.

According to Northe, the day is set aside for the children to collect their kites, have a meal and enjoy themselves with their families and friends, at the Garage.

“Each year, we share out additional kites. This year, we catered for over 2000 children. We are aiming to share out more next year,” he said.

Other companies are welcome to join the Garage in the venture, Mr. Northe said.
