Lawrence Company Donates Trucks to Bahamian Island

Editor's Note: The following is a news release issued by .

Beautiful weather, tropical beaches and luxurious resorts all come to mind when thinking about the Bahamas. However, the Bahamas are often susceptible to natural disasters that leave many communities destroyed. To aid in the recovery, Cooper Pest Solutions donated two service trucks to Karazim Ministries in Freeport, Grand Bahama Island, to transport goods and aid in reconstruction.  

Todd Baker, a longtime member of Woodside Presbyterian Church, travels to Freeport, Grand Bahama Island, each year with the Woodside Senior High Youth Group to work alongside Karazim Ministries. The organizations work to repair homes, install vegetable gardens, and work with the island’s youth to help rebuild after natural disasters.

“We are all thankful for the generosity of Cooper Pest Solutions,” said Baker. “The trucks will help the youth become more self-sufficient and help Karazim Ministries provide additional aid to people who are suffering due to a lack of resources.”

Woodside Presbyterian Church members collected donations to cover the cost of refurbishing and shipping the Cooper vehicles. It has been a joint effort to help this island rebuild.

“Donating Cooper trucks is a great way we can help contribute to a country that is in need of additional resources,” said Phil Cooper, president of Cooper Pest Solutions. “Woodside Presbyterian Church helps makes a difference on the island and Cooper Pest Solutions feels privileged to contribute to their efforts.”

The two donated trucks were transported to the Karazim Ministries in Grand Bahama Island in January.
