A company called Ondo-Lynyi Industry Limited, located in the Odigbo Local Government Area of Ondo state, has given food supplies to orphanages around the state.
The gift is anticipated to benefit more than 250 children residing in the orphanage facilities.
Noodle packets and containers of rice were among the food items.
On Friday, at the Ark Children Home at Ikota Community in the Ifedore Local Government Area of the state, officials of the company gave the items to the orphanages.
Speaking at the event, the company’s public relations officer, Mr. Prince Adewale Omolayo, stated that the gesture was a component of the company’s corporate social responsibility.
He said, “We decided to extend hands of fellowship to the orphanages, I mean the Motherless Babies Home, around Ondo State, so we called together almost 10 orphanage homes to this place today to give out some palliatives to celebrate with them in this Yuletide season.
“We made arrangements for over 250 to 300 children, so you can see those things there, they are so many, and we have contacted the leadership of those homes across Akure and its environs and they promised us that they are going to bring them together today,
“I think each home will have about 20 to 30 or thereabouts, so some of them have arrived and we still waiting for some of them. We have a truckload of rice indomie and all the rest and cash.”
In his speech, Mr. Emmanuel Adaramola, Executive Director of the Emmanuel Children World Foundation, praised the company for the effort and said it will help the houses care for the children.
He said, “This is the first time we are partnering the company, and we do hope that this will be a continuous thing.
“Different organisations have been coming to offer assistance. On December 27, 2023, we have over 200 children here because we used to celebrate children here from rural and poor communities.
“So, we have children from about eight villages gathered here, especially those from the poor home that may not have chicken to eat during Christmas so what we do in those situations is that we make food items, party and other things.”
