Vega’s Distributors Limited Donates Bug Sprays and Cash to Belize Red Cross  

Vega’s Distributors Limited handed over the equivalent of four thousand dollars in cash and products to the Belize Red Cross. Fifteen days away from the start of the hurricane season, the Belize Red Cross is gathering resources for its 2024 disaster relief efforts. Today, they received several boxes of bug sprays and two thousand dollars cash from Vega’s Distributors Limited. We were at the handing over ceremony this morning, where we heard more about how these resources will be put into use.

In reviewing the list of donors recipients, the Belize Red Cross stood out because of the many years of Service.

“This donation comes in handy because it is the start of our preparation for Hurricane season and we really, we want to have everything in place. We have started procurement and getting everything in place for the hurricane season. Of course, we don’t want to have a hurricane come to Belize but we have to be prepared. So, this donation means a lot in terms of prepared in case there is a dengue outbreak in Belize.”
