four 40-foot containers of food supplies to support relief efforts

MASSY Distribution Guyana Inc., in partnership with Nestlé Anglo-Dutch Caribbean, the Private Sector Commission Guyana, and the Civil Defence Commission (CDC), on Thursday announced the shipment of four 40-foot containers of food supplies to Grenada and St. Vincent and the Grenadines. This generous donation aims to bolster relief efforts in the wake of Hurricane Beryl’s devastating impact on the Caribbean.
The press release from Massy Distribution highlighted that the food supplies include MAGGI soups and seasonings, MILO, cereals, and Nestlé’s liquid milks. Those items are essential for supporting the affected communities as they recover from the hurricane’s destruction.
Hurricane Beryl, which struck on July 1, 2024, as a Category 4 storm with maximum sustained winds of up to 150 mph, caused extensive damage across the Caribbean. The hurricane led to severe power outages, widespread flooding, and life-threatening storm surges, affecting infrastructure, homes, and key services throughout the region.
Massy Distribution and Nestlé’s initiative reflects their commitment to aiding fellow Caribbean nations in their time of need. The support comes as part of a broader regional effort, with countries like Guyana actively contributing to the rehabilitation and recovery of impacted areas.
The donation underscores the solidarity and co-operation among Caribbean nations and private sector partners in addressing the aftermath of natural disasters and providing critical assistance to affected communities.
