“We did this donation in times of need. As we are all aware, COVID-19 came in as a shock to the community and country. Since we have a company in the Ellembele District here, we decided to help the needy via the Food Bank. We are indeed in unusual times and we are grateful to God for life. We at Quantum Terminal are committed to supporting these communities and seeing to the betterment of residents. We are happy to present these items through Ellembelle District assembly to support its fight against the COVID-19.
