commercial oven donated to QEH
February 15, 2021
Last year we committed to a donation of Enteral Feeding Pumps to the QEH and held the spring online fundraising campaign to raise the funds needed to make this donation. However, the hospital informed us that the Feeding Pumps had been provided by another donor and requested that we donate the commercial convection oven needed by its Food Services Department instead. After purchasing a Royal Convection Oven at a cost of BBD$13,321, on Wednesday, December 9th we presented this equipment to the hospital's dietician - Meshell Carrington, in a ceremony at which BCF was represented by Dr. Barbara Trieloff-Deane. The oven bears BCF's logo and an inscription noting that it was donated by Barbados Canada Foundation. See the pictures below taken at the presentation ceremony.
