ABLP St. John’s City West Branch Distributes Easter Food Baskets to Elderly Residents

7

The ABLP St. John’s City West Branch marked the Easter season by distributing food baskets to elderly residents in the Point and Villa communities, in an effort to recognise their contributions and support vulnerable members of the constituency.

The initiative, carried out on behalf of MP Gaston Browne, forms part of the branch’s annual outreach, with organisers noting that this is the second consecutive year the effort has been undertaken.

In a statement, the group said the activity was inspired by the message of Easter, reflecting on “the life, death, and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” and the values of love, sacrifice and compassion associated with the season.

The branch said the distribution was also intended to honour the elderly for their role in shaping the community, adding that their “wisdom and sacrifices will never be forgotten.”

Residents in the Point and Villa areas received the baskets, which were described as a token of appreciation from the constituency organisation.

  2. There are many charitable organisations in the country that go about their amazing work in a quiet manner. And much kudos to them.

    But what sickens me to the pit of my stomach is that come General Election time, the political hypocrites our out in force, giving away THIS and giving away THAT.

    If they really cared they’d donate more men’s clothing which is in dire shortage across the country. I donate these whenever I can … and quietly 🤫

    Political prostitutes the lot of them!

    Being charitable isn’t about “look at meee…”

  4. If it is one thing people know about Gaston Browne is that he is a giver. Not because he is in politics. But before politics. And it only expanded when he because a politician. Let alone when he became the Prime Minister. His constituencies know him to have feeding programs for the elderly. No one in his constituency should ever go hungry. And since fighting for the Boobey Alley project he is now ensuring they will get some of the best homes in the country. And therefore when certain UPP operatives want to claim this is an election gimmick, the people of City West know too well it ain’t. The ABLP is know for example to provide their constituents every Xmas with Ham and Turnkey. is there an election looming there? No!. It’s their philosophy. The UPP only does so when in office. Which tells you it is government monies they are using. While ABLP is doing so whether or not in or out of government.
    Browne even share the produce from his farm with his constituents. Keep spinning political hacks.

  5. I told you folks that @Less We Forget [He] was a sandwich short of a picnic basket. My directive was towards all political parties that uses charitable works as an election gimmick. Whether they are from UPP, DNA, ABLP or even ABCDEFG!

    It’s not necessary when charities continue regularly in Antigua & Barbuda.

    This guy needs some serious help…

    I hope he isn’t a teacher or a preacher?!

  6. All I hear straight is politicians giving food to people to eat, and to black people to be exact, so that clearly shows white people are living good and not the black Antiguan, because ALP and Gaston and even UPP can’t pass their place and go carry good to white people are syrians and Chinese, so the ALP concur with CNN and fox news who portray the African continent as hungry people with flies at their mouth in the media?

  7. “The ABLP is know for example to provide their constituents every Xmas with Ham and Turnkey. is there an election looming there? No!. It’s their philosophy. The UPP only does so when in office.

    Anyone that reads the above will understand I’m not just talking about Gaston Browne, but about the ABLP. This article was addressing the City West Branch. And my reply was not towards anyone in particular. But then again some people wish for me to interact with them. But I have said it before I am done arguing with stupid people.
