Through the initiative, persons from several areas benefit from meals and personal care items, that are always timely and well received. Prior to COVID-19, the Credit Union carried out its last major Soup & Soap project at the Caribbean Christian Centre for the Deaf, Knockpatrick Campus where doz- ens attended. This project saw the Credit Union providing hot meals to the students and staff at the institution along with boxes of bath soaps. Other Institutions that have ben- efited in recent times include: The Manchester Infirmary, Ebenezer Home for the Mentally Challenged and the Mount Olivet Boys’ Home. Though the pandemic has put a pause of these efforts, the MCCU is committed to resuming the initia- tive at the soonest possible time. A HOST of staff members and volunteers took to the Mile Gully Community Centre on Labour Day in 2019 and got their hands dirty for a well needed beautification project. The community centre which serves several Northwest Manchester districts was repainted and the grounds thor- oughly cleaned. During the project bathroom fixtures which were specially bought for the initiative were handed over for installation at a later date. Not only did the building receive a much needed facelift but the joy of the residents was evidenced on their faces. They expressed gratitude to the Credit Union for the work done, even as representatives from the institution used the opportunity to interact with the members of the community.
