AML FOODS Limited has launched its 10th annual Feed 5000 Holiday Feeding Programme, marking the milestone with a $50,000 donation as the company celebrates its 50th anniversary.

The initiative, which began nine years ago, has grown into a symbol of community spirit and generosity, according to Renea Bastian, vice president of marketing and communications. With the support of customers, staff, and corporate partners, the company has raised and distributed more than $500,000 in food vouchers, feeding over 100,000 Bahamians since its inception.

From November 3 to December 17, customers are invited to join the effort by purchasing or donating a $50 Christmas Meal Package at any Solomon’s, Solomon’s Fresh Market, Cost Right, Exuma Markets, or Eleuthera Markets location. Members of the My Solomon’s Smart Rewards programme can also donate their loyalty points toward the cause.

Donations can be made in-store or online through the company’s retail websites, including solomonsfreshmarkets.com, dominos242.com, and exumamarkets.com.

Funds raised will be distributed through community partners including the Bahamas Feeding Network, Red Cross Grand Bahama Branch, Salvation Army Eleuthera, and the One Exuma Foundation.

Ms Bastian said the milestone year highlights AML’s long-standing commitment to giving back.

“As AML Foods Limited celebrates 50 years of serving the Bahamian people, our passion for giving back remains stronger than ever,” she said.

“The Feed 5000 programme continues to touch lives across our islands, bringing hope, comfort, and nourishment to families who need it most.”

Individuals, civic groups, and businesses are encouraged to contribute by purchasing meal packages in-store or contacting AML’s corporate office for more information.
