AML Foods and Guardian Media Group Join Forces for Successful Back-to-School Snack-A-thon Initiative, Raising $10,000 for Children in Need

September 17th 2024

AML Foods today announced the successful conclusion of its Back-to-School Snack-A-thon promotion, a collaborative effort with the Guardian Media Group. The goal of the campaign, which ran for three weeks from August 6th to September 5th, was to raise funds to provide snacks for children in need as they headed back to school. AML Foods Limited Food stores successfully raised an impressive $5,685.00 and AML injected an additional $4,315.00 which brought the total to $10,000.00. More than 200 families benefited from the initiative.

The partnership reflects both organizations’ unwavering commitment to making a positive difference in the community by addressing the issue of food insecurity, similar to AML Foods’ Feed5000 initiative during the holiday season. Food insecurity is a critical concern in The Bahamas, impacting the learning experience of countless young students. Hunger can significantly hinder their ability to concentrate, focus, and actively participate in classroom activities. Adequate nutrition is fundamental to cognitive development and academic success. Without proper nourishment, these children may struggle to unlock their full potential in their educational journey.

AML Foods expresses its heartfelt gratitude to its dedicated customers in Nassau & Freeport who generously contributed to this important cause. The company is looking forward to collaborating with Guardian Media Group in the future to continue serving the communities. All proceeds from the Back-to-School Snack-A-thon were donated to the Bahamas Feeding Network and Hands for Hunger for distribution to families in Nassau & Freeport.
