Bain Town is in “Good Hands”

NASSAU, BAHAMAS – The pandemic is still taking a toll on families working to fill basic needs.

Our Jean Joseph visits one community center with far reaching effects, giving a glimmer of hope and a helping hand to those in need.

A mother of two travels from Carmichael to the Bain Town community to take advantage of the goodwill of an area church.

The Carmichael Resident says she is thankful for the blessings – and no doubt there are certainly others who feel the same way.

Reverend C.B. Moss and his wife have been making a difference in the Bain and Grants Town community for nearly 38 years – regularly distributing food packages to the elderly and shut-ins and carrying out other programs to uplift that inner-city community.

The bulletin board at Augusta and Meadow Street alerts members of the community to food distribution dates and other initiatives.

When COVID-19 struck, it forced Moss and his team of volunteers to ramp up their efforts, standing in the gap for the many who found themselves suddenly unable to fulfill their basic needs.

The effort is a massive undertaking – one Moss says is only possible through the kindness and generosity of benefactors who support Mt. Olive’s many programs.

He says they do not discriminate, and seek to help as many people as they can.

Moss and his team are hopeful they can reach more people through food assistance and other programs.

With the recent budget announcements, it seems to be a reality that will come sooner than they expected – helping them continue a legacy of providing help and hope for many.
