Ladera Resort has issued a challenge to all businesses in St. Lucia to support charitable endeavors here at home. The resort’s Good Works Group has for many years supported educating children, feeding the hungry and strengthening the ability of our religious institutions to provide for those in need. Ladera has committed to providing a Matching Grant to the Parish of the Catholic Church in Soufriere to carry out repairs to the Church and Presbytery. The way it works is that from now through July 15th, for every dollar donated to the project by St. Lucia businesses, Ladera will donate two dollars. That means that if a company gives $25.00 to help, the Church will receive $75.00. And if they choose to give $5000.00, Ladera will match that too, and give $10,000.00. That way the total amount is made much greater because of joint participation in the project.
