Forbes expressed gratitude for the donation, highlighting that it would aid in procuring essential supplies and covering operational costs for the various emergency shelters across the country.
Barbour emphasized that this donation reflects the company’s longstanding commitment to corporate social responsibility and its ongoing support for disaster response and recovery efforts, noting a similar contribution of EC$20,000 made by the company in August.
