MORE BARBADIANS are turning to humanitarian groups for food.

Today both representatives of the Barbados Vagrants and Homeless Society (BVHS) and Government’s HIV/AIDS Food Bank said the number of people showing up on their doorsteps food had increased.

The occasion was the presentation of food hampers to the two humanitarian groups by interns attached to LIME, the telecommunications agency.

Kemar Saffrey, head of the BVHS, said many more people who were neither vagrants nor homeless were asking for meals. (TY)
