Operation Salvation
Typography

The target of the seventh annual Warrior Nation/SocaWarriors.net Holiday Food Drive was the poor and needy in the Morvant/Laventille area. We managed to raise $6,500 TTD which was used to purchase food items which was then given to Operation Salvation for distribution. Operation Salvation is a network of twenty Full Gospel Churches functioning in the Morvant/Laventille area and beyond. It has been in existence for the past six years and its mission is the “Transformation of local communities through the application of gospel principles.”

Enough food was purchased to allow the creation of 36 food hampers which were given to the children and families of the Trauma Support Groups operated by Operation Salvation in the Morvant/Laventille and surrounding areas. The children are students of Morvant Laventille Secondary School, St. Barb’s Government Primary School, Our Lady of Laventille RC Primary School, Chinapoo Government Primary School, and Lower Morvant Government Primary School.

2013 holiday food driveAdditional food items were donated by individuals and T&T Pro League club, Central FC. We thank Central FC’s Operations Director, Kevin Harrison, for his support of this venture. These items were given to the elderly, and families in the area who are affected by HIV.

Operation Salvation’s Administrator, Tricia Lalmah, said “We give thanks to God and your group for the opportunity extended to us to continue to bring community transformation through the word of God and an extended hand. May God continue to bless and keep the members and families of the Warrior Nation and SocaWarriors.net. Again, thank you and we look forward to working with your group in the future.”
