By Caribbean Medical News Staff
Cost-U-Less, a warehouse wholesale and retail store located in Barbados has recently partnered with the Diabetes Association of Barbados as part of the company’s commitment to the community.
The official launch of the partnership took place during the Grand Opening Event earlier this year with a donation of $10,000 BDS to the Diabetes Association of Barbados to assist in the maintenance and gas of their new remote testing van.
“Cost-U-Less is looking forward to what will be a long and lasting relationship with the Diabetes Association of Barbados. We are very excited about this new partnership and the role the store will play in helping to promote diabetes awareness and programming,” says David Lui, Director, Marketing Services, The North West Company.
According to reports, through the partnership, Cost-U-Less will support the Diabetes Association of Barbados thorough a number of in-store and community events, as well as volunteer commitments to raise funds for diabetes awareness and programming on the island.
The Association and Cost-U-Less say that the van allows the Diabetes Association to reach more community members in order to provide free testing and information. During the Grand Opening, Cost-U-Less and DAB provided a Diabetes testing tent which provided over a 100 community members with free testing and educational resource as well.
The Diabetes Association of Barbados welcomes Cost-U-Less to Barbados, and appreciates your recognition of our reputation as the driving force and trusted leader in our diabetes community,” says Noreen Merritt, President, Diabetes Association of Barbados.
Cost-U-Less Barbados has also recently announced a new partnership with Sharon Primary School thorough its Adopt-a-School programme. “Cost-U-Less will be opening right around the corner from the school, and one of our main pillars of our corporate social responsibility mandate is to give back to the community we serve and the Adopt-a-School program just seemed like a natural fit,” said David Lui.
