TCI Family Launches Food Assistance program in Matriarch’s honour; asks for support

#TurksandCaicos, August 5, 2022 – Myrna-Lisa’s Guiding Light NPO is a family operated Non-Profit Organization which was formed in the memory of the family’s Matriarch, Mrs. Myrna E. Mills-Gray. Her genuine generous, kind, tenacious and loving attributes are just a few that describes this giant of a beautiful soul.

The family owned NPO, Controllers, Directors, Executive and Members consists of daughter, Alicia Swann and Grandchildren, Adrian, Deyonta, Kashe, Raheam and Aaliyah Basden, anyone who knows us will know we are a closely-knitted family.

Our goal is to keep her memory alive by giving back to the world; through act of kindness, empathy, compassion and love. We hope to touch many lives through humanitarian and philanthropy acts throughout the Turks and Caicos Islands. While developing partnerships with many stakeholders throughout the Turks and Caicos Islands.

Our first initiative was a food drive which you can find our food boxes at the entrances of P & K Spend Less Supermarket, located in Industrial Parks and GK Foods located on Leeward Highway, next to Menzies Medical Practices. We hope to partner with other stores around the islands, not only on Providenciales but across the Turks and Caicos Islands. We launched the official day on Sunday, June 26^th, 2022 with a photo-ups with our stakeholders, donors and members of our family.

We wish to take this opportunity the thank the following individuals and organizations who believed in our vision and have contributed to its success to date.

Hon. Samuel Been, Ms. Eunece Morris, The Samaritan’s Project – An ED7 programme and The Progressive National Institute (NPO) for their donation of the beautiful food boxes.

The owners and friendly staff of P & K Spend Less Supermarket and GK Foods who did not hesitate to partner with us. We could not have done this without you all. And to the generous shoppers who will stop by and donate goods whilst shopping a hearty thank you! Your donations are what will make the difference.

Donations of grocery and toiletries to family in need who will be able to sign up for the programme, our goal is to have as much support from the general public that we are also able to provide to Mental Health and Social Welfare. Together we can make a positive impact in our country. We hope to have participants of hardware stores, other companies, the outreach has to end. We have a number of other initiatives that will also be launched shortly.
