NCB VOLUNTEERS TAKE PART IN FOOD FOR THE POOR'S RECORD-BREAKING RACE - Jamaica Observer's Social Love - May 19, 2015

Members of the NCB volunteer corp were out in their numbers on May 9 for the Food For The Poor 5K race in Kingston. The team of over 150 staff members and scholarship and grant beneficiaries acted as Course Directional Marshalls, Barriers Marshalls, Water-stop Attendants, Motivators and actual racers.

NCB believes in nation building and often partners with other entities that have similar foci. Food For The Poor Jamaica is one such entity. As a precrsor to the race, on May 2, volunteers from across the company ventured to Spanish Town and Montego Bay to build two homes for less fortunate families. This formed part of the bank's donation to the charity's 5K race. The race was aimed at raising funds to build additional homes for Jamaican families in need. The race raised a record-breaking $46 million in its first staging.
