FREEPORT, Grand Bahama — Since Hurricane Dorian struck the Northern Bahamas islands of Grand Bahama and Abaco, creating historic levels of damage to those communities, Mission Resolve Foundation has assisted in delivering 400 pallets of humanitarian aid – including 30,000 pounds of water, 275,000 pounds of canned and dry food, 150,000 pounds of household supplies, and 50,000 pounds of construction materials.
This past weekend, Mission Resolve came together “with the Miami Dolphins and NEMA Grand Bahama to deliver additional relief supplies, as the need for disaster aid is far from over,” according to a press release.
Dolphins alumni — including Dolphins legends Nat Moore, Mark Duper, Jim Jensen, Louis Oliver and Shawn Wooden — and team staff travelled to Freeport with Mission Resolve from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on Saturday, October 5, and joined NEMA in Freeport in distributing fresh water and relief supplies.
The team also coordinated youth football and rugby games for local children as well as provided care packages to families in the community. Additionally, the team made a financial donation to assist Mission Resolve in its efforts.
