The items donated included 300pieces of 500ml of sanitizers, 60 bags of rice, 22 bags of maize, 15 boxes of mackerel and 20 boxes of Sunflower oil.
According to the Bantama Area/Local Pastor, Apostle S. C. K. Akomeah, the donation forms part of measures at providing food and other basic needs for its members who due to the partial lockdown in the Greater Kumasi Area are affected.
He said, "This gesture which was spearheaded by thwas to alleviate the needy and the vulnerable in the local church during this era of Coronavirus pandemic."
Apostle Akomeah added that during such critical period, the church could not sit aloof and turned it back on the members; hence this donation.
He further stated that God requires from the Church, Philanthropists and other benevolent organizations to give to the vulnerable in the society.
The Area Head Pastor of the church entreated all and sundry to emulate this gesture and give their widows might to support the needy and the vulnerable in society during this COVID-19 era and beyond.
