Since early March, Bahamians around the entire country have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. And, as the nation continues to grapple with the virus, the Caribbean Bottling Company (CBC) has remained committed to supporting communities and providing assistance to a number of relief groups. To date, CBC has donated over $130,000 in beverages to charitable organizations, food distribution centers, and outreach programs, and remains committed to providing additional support in the future. 

"The coronavirus has impacted the lives of just about every Bahamian" noted Nikia Wells, CBC Communications Marketing Manager. "This is a global pandemic, and it is vital that we rally together, not just as business operators, but as individuals, to support those who may be in need right now. To date, we have donated over 9,000 cases of beverages. And, we have been working closely with local charity groups, like Hands for Hunger, The Salvation Army, The Bahamas Red Cross, Great Commission, Lend-A-Hand, members of the local Bahamian manufacturing and production community, and many other smaller soup kitchens and community programs to ensure that those in need have vital resources, beverages, and food."

In addition to the company's support of COVID-19 relief activities, CBC has also been focused on continuing their efforts in the northern Bahamas, to assist those still grappling with the impact of Hurricane Dorian. 

Wells added, "This month marks one year since Dorian, and there are still so many men, women and children who are trying to recover from its devastating impact. There is still lots to be done. Many Bahamians are still in need and we are committed to providing ongoing support to the selfless and hardworking groups and individuals who are still on the ground, working tirelessly to restore these communities."
