Burger King Freeport assisting Bahamas Red Cross Society in revitalizing 'Meals on Wheels'

GRAND BAHAMA, Bahamas -- Grand Bahama residents have been impacted greatly by the economic downturn with many families facing job lost, losing homes, and even losing loved ones.

Our hearts are touched by the struggles that many face just to put food on the table. This may your next door neighbor, a relative or even you. Burger King Restaurants Freeport has been touched by the scores of Grand Bahamian families who are going through this difficult time.


Over the next few days, residents can stop at any of our 4 locations and drop off 3 or more canned good items; for your generosity, you will be given a FREE movie pass to the 3rd BK Red Carpet Movie Premiere for Thursday May 27th, 2010 at 7 pm Galleria Cinemas. These proceeds will assist the Bahamas Red Cross Society on Grand Bahama in revitalizing the Meals on Wheels Program.

The Annual Burger King Red Carpet Movie Premiere program is purposed to aid in the development of community projects and charities. Benefiting from these events thus far are the Grand Bahama Children’s Home, the Retired Persons Association, Freeport City Council and Over the Horizon Mobile Library Project and now the Bahamas Red Cross Society.
