ANTIGUA & BARBUDA — The Peetron Movement International Team, under the leadership of Peetron Thomas, has announced the fifth annual return of the Noreen Mingo Christmas Initiative for December 2025. This community program honors the enduring legacy of the late Mrs. V. Noreen Mingo, who passed away in October 2020 but remains celebrated for her lifelong dedication to service and compassion.
Mrs. Mingo is remembered as a multifaceted pillar of her community—a nurturing mother, supportive sister, caring aunt, trusted friend, and a woman whose generosity flourished in the kitchen. Her extensive contributions included pioneering work within prison ministries, serving as a chaplain, leading community outreach programs, and supporting numerous organizational initiatives aimed at uplifting those in need.
Her commitment extended deeply into faith-based service as an active member of the Parham Seventh-day Adventist Church. In her earlier years, she also made significant contributions to the Church of God of Prophecy, where her efforts focused on spiritual growth and community support.
Launched in December 2020 shortly after her passing, the initiative has consistently provided essential support to families and individuals during the holiday season. This year’s program aims to expand its impact with enhanced activities designed to bring nourishment and joy to the community.
Key components of the 2025 initiative include:
– Soup Kitchen Service: Offering warm meals and companionship to those experiencing food insecurity
– Food Package Distribution: Providing essential groceries and supplies to families across the community
“Each Christmas, Mrs. Mingo could be counted on to provide a plate of food, a warm smile, and a helping hand. Her legacy continues to feed, uplift, and inspire,” stated Peetron Thomas, reflecting on the continued relevance of Mingo’s humanitarian spirit.
The Noreen Mingo Christmas Initiative stands as a lasting tribute to a life dedicated to service, faith, and generosity, embodying the true spirit of holiday giving and community solidarity.
