Hi, all. Green Turtle Cay’s Winston Pinder advises that donations for Abaco victims of Hurricane Dorian are now being collected in Nassau.

A freight boat will convey all donated items to Spanish Wells, where a group of 7+ fishing boats is waiting to distribute hurricane relief among the Abaco Cays and the mainland.

Weather permitting, the freight boat is scheduled to leave Nassau the evening of Thursday, September 5, so please drop off donations as soon as you can to:

Bahamas Air Conditioning Supply on Shirley Street (Nathan Albury)

JBR Building Supplies, Wulff Road (Charlie Albury)

Supplies in greatest need are:

Non-perishable grocery items, including baby food and liquid formula
