RESIDENTS of the Fort Charlotte constituency are eligible to receive a post-hurricane food voucher from Xtra Value Food Store on Thompson Boulevard as of noon today, according to area MP Dr Andre Rollins.

“The food voucher will entitle constituents of Fort Charlotte to receive $50 worth of grocery essentials from Xtra Value in an effort to assist constituents during the recovery period,” Dr Rollins said in a statement posted on his Facebook page.

“Fort Charlotte constituents are advised that they must present both their 2012 Fort Charlotte voter ID and a second form of government-issued ID, either their passport or driver’s license, to be eligible to receive the voucher benefit.

“Senior citizens or persons with disabilities, who are unable to come to the store themselves, will be permitted to have trusted persons or proxies act on their behalf, on the condition that those proxies bring that Fort Charlotte resident’s two forms of ID and their own duplicate IDs for accounting and security purposes.”

Dr Rollins said the effort is non-partisan, but it is not limitless and “will be discontinued by the store’s management once the allocated sums are exhausted.”
