Grand Bahama Power Company (GBPC) is committed to serving local communities through volunteering and fundraising. As students across the island prepare for a new school year, GBPC employees held their first ‘Back to School Giveaway.’

Families from across Grand Bahama enjoyed a fun-filled afternoon of entertainment including bouncing castles, face painting, food and refreshments.

GBPC employees volunteered their time to help with the event and were delighted to provide more than 500 school age children with school supply kits including pens, pencils, rulers, composition books, pocket folders and paper.

The giveaway was organised by the GBPC Employee Volunteer Group (EVG). The Group has been working hard to find ways for GBPC employees to support the community and identify ways employees can give back where they live and work.

“The Back to School giveaway was a wonderful way for our employees to support the youth of Grand Bahama,” said Mia Wilchcombe, chair of the EVG. “Our employee volunteers were thrilled to be able to share an afternoon of fun with the children while helping to prepare them for their upcoming school year”.
