A church drive to provide food for needy families is in “high gear” and has been “inundated with gifts of love,” according to a spokesman.The Hamilton Seventh-day Adventist Church launched ‘Operation Five Loaves and Two Fishes’ on Tuesday, with the aim of helping more than 150 struggling families.The drive was prompted by an increased demand on the church’s regular twice-weekly feeding programme for the homeless. Elder James Landy said the operation also aims to help those who have a home, but may be unemployed and struggling financially.Mr Landy said yesterday: “Operation Five Loaves and Two Fishes is in high gear with many individuals as well as companies making donations to the cause. The Hamilton Seventh-day Adventist Church has been inundated with gifts of love from the community.“It is also important to note there has been no shortage of individuals who have been requesting the care packages. We still are asking for the community’s help. So far, we have had corporate donations from Butterfield and Vallis, BGA and Arnold’s. MarketPlace also came with a crate of goods to be handed out.”Donations of non-perishable goods will be collected at the Hamilton Seventh-day Adventist Youth Centre until Saturday, October 22. They will be handed to members of the public at the same venue from 12 noon until 2pm on Sunday, October 23. Deliveries can be arranged for those unable to come to the centre.For more information, call him on 534-9600, call the church on 292-4276 or e-mail hamiltonsda[AT]northrock.bm.
