Changing of the Guard at Bahamas Feeding Network
08/03/2022
It’s not often you see six powerful men rally round the need to feed but it happened with smiles, friendship and frank discussions when Prime Minister Philip Davis met with leaders from the Bahamas Feeding Network (BFN) in the Office of the Prime Minister.
The occasion was a welcome to Archdeacon (Retired) James Palacious who takes over as Executive Director of the Feeding Network this week as the NGO’s current leader Lester Ferguson prepares to move to the U.S. for The Salvation Army.
BFN,
which has served up more than one million meals since its inception in
2013, is currently providing some 70,000 meals monthly – and it operates
with a less than
5% administrative cost, thanks to an anonymous patron who picks up the
tab for nearly all expenses allowing donations to go straight to the
fight against hunger.
