WISYNCO’S ANNIVERSARY GIFT TO FOOD FOR THE POOR - News Release - April 30, 2015


WISYNCO Corporate Offices, Lakes Pen, St. Catherine - April 30, 2015 – Charity organization Food for the Poor Jamaica (FFP) has benefitted from a sizeable donation of Five Million Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars (JMD$5,750,000.00) from WISYNCO Group Limited toward the construction of homes.

In recognition of WISYNCO’s 50th anniversary, which they celebrate this year, the Company committed US$50,000.00 (JA$5,750,000.00) as their Anniversary Gift to FFP. The donation coincides with the FFP 5K Run/Walk scheduled for May 9, 2015 under the theme “Changing Lives - Restoring Families.” Some of WISYNCO’s longest serving Team members were asked to hand over the donation to FFP.

“We at Food for the Poor Jamaica sincerely appreciate this donation and will put this toward new homes. WISYNCO has come on board and we encourage other corporate entities to follow and join our cause; we need all the support as we strive to restore families and change lives.” – David Mair, Executive Director, Food for the Poor Jamaica.

We are grateful to our WISYNCO Team who have all worked tremendously hard over the years to build WISYNCO, and on behalf of our Team and our longest serving Team members, we feel blessed to give to such a great cause that will improve the lives of fifteen (15) families. We look forward to participating in the FFP 5K and encourage everyone to come out and support them [FFP] on Saturday May 9th. – Andrew Mahfood – Chief Executive Officer – WISYNCO Group Ltd.

Food for the Poor will be hosting its inaugural charity 5K Run/Walk on May 9, 2015 towards building homes for persons in need and has indicated that for every US$3,200.00 it raises, their Head Office will match that amount and FFP will build a new double wooden home with sanitation and solar lighting for a family. They hope to raise funds to build 300 new homes. WISYNCO is proud to be on board to support this initiative through sponsorship and team participation.
