The Horsford’s Valu Mart IGA also facilitated a hurricane relief food and water  collection drive at the Horsford’s Complex parking lot . 1000’s of items were collected for shipment to the ravaged islands in an effort again coordinated by the Chamber of Industry and Commerce.  The  food drive took place on Friday 15th September.

St. Kitts was identified as the operational hub for relief efforts for the affected islands  because of its centralized proximity to those islands.
