The Lagos Food Bank Initiative got a major boost as itel Mobile donated food and relief items for the Ipaja community and its environs in Lagos.
It is to support households affected by the coronavirus-induced hard times.
The donations were part of the itel’s bimonthly ‘Love Always On’ initiative, which focuses on bringing succour to the less privileged in the communities.
No fewer than 20 volunteers committed several hours of their time helping to enrich the lives of the benefiting community.
Marketing Communications Manager (West Africa), itel Mobile, Oke Umurhohwo, said the outreach is a deliberate, impact-driven initiative that gives back to the vulnerable.
“It’s the brand’s way of helping families and children survive the tough times created by the pandemic,” he said.
The President of the Lagos Food Bank Initiative, Michael Sunbola, explained that the partnership with itel comes from a place of impact.
“The Lagos Food Bank Initiative is indeed delighted to be on this laudable move initiated by itel Mobile to bring smiles to people’s faces at this critical time.
“It is not in doubt that the country needs more support from individuals and corporate organisations at this time, and itel Mobile has created an enabling template with this act of kindness,” he said.
