Photos: LaLique Simmons’ ‘30 For 30’ Initiative
LaLique Simmons marked her 30th birthday by hosting a “30 for 30” initiative, bringing together volunteers to assemble and distribute care packages for individuals and families in need.
The community contributed donations of at least $30 or essential household and grocery items to help create a minimum of 30 care packages. The event, held at the Bermuda Ex-Artilleryman’s Club, also featured music and refreshments.
Ms Simmons told Bernews “30 for 30 was birthed off just seeing our community experiencing food vulnerabilities and insecurities. I am a registered nurse by day, so I see what’s happening in our community every day, so it just felt like a no-brainer to me.
“I’ve always been service-driven and this is just – it’s nothing. I am very grateful for the support that’s here tonight. We’ve exceeded our 30 bags, so 30 for 30 is now 30 plus. I’m absolutely grateful, and this wouldn’t be a success without the community.
“I just want to give a shoutout to my supporters and those that have worked closely with me for the birth of this, and that is Creations Co. and that’s New Heights Media – this wouldn’t be a thing if it wasn’t for them, so I’m absolutely grateful for each and every one of you.”
