On what would have been her 75th birthday, the memory of Sonia Benjamin, a revered public servant who passed away last year, is being honored through an expanded charitable initiative bearing her name. The late Benjamin, remembered for her distinguished service in the Royal Police Force of Antigua & Barbuda and her devout membership at St. Peter’s Anglican Church, continues to inspire through her legacy of generosity and unwavering commitment to community welfare.
Building upon the success of a previous outreach conducted in December 2024, Jessica Berman has announced a significant expansion of this year’s ‘Remembering Sonia Benjamin Christmas Outreach.’ The initiative aims to extend its reach to a greater number of households and individuals during the upcoming holiday season, embodying Benjamin’s core principles of duty and compassionate action.
The revitalized program will feature a trio of core charitable activities meticulously designed to provide both essential support and festive joy. These include operational soup kitchens dedicated to serving warm meals to the underprivileged, organized distributions of food packages containing essential groceries to struggling families, and the giving of gifts to spread seasonal cheer.
Organizers emphasize that the enlarged scope of the outreach is a direct reflection of Sonia Benjamin’s lifelong dedication to uplifting others. The public is being encouraged to support the endeavor, ensuring its impact resonates with the same spirit of service that defined her life.
