Coming together in true Bajan form

Marie Gomez has been churning out delicious meals for her clients for several years.   Today, Good Friday, her clients are a different group.  60 portions of vegetable with barley and noodle soup will leave her kitchen to feed the health care workers on the frontline of the crisis.  Marie says she was off to a good start when hotels and restaurants began to donate vegetables they would never be able to use.  She bagged and froze as many vegetables as she could and today she is turning that into much appreciated hot meals.  Social Media in Barbados got busy .. as she says ‘a network of moms sprang into action’.    Groups such as Covid Volunteers Barbados began posting that meals were needed for frontline workers .  Soon Marie was hearing from clients .. how could they help?  Some donate food, others money … “people ring me and say ‘I don’t cook, but I want to help in some way”
