In keeping with his promise, Nicholas Owen, CEO of Nick's Seasonings announced that he will be amplifying the reach of this year's initiative, " Last year we went to my grandfather's hometown in Sligoville, I'm very excited that this year, we'll also be spreading the back-to-school love in the Maxfield community, where my mom’s extended family is from." He said.

This October, Nick’s Seasoning’s will be providing children from the Maxfield and Sligoville communities with all new school supplies. These items will include school bags, composition books, pencils, and erasers.

Nick’s Seasonings Spreads Back-to-School Love in Family’s District, August 2018

Owner of the newly founded, Nick's Seasonings, Nicholas Owen, donated back-to-school supplies recently in his paternal hometown of St. Richard Hall District, Sligoville, St. Catherine.

There's an old saying that goes, "in order to know where you are going, you must remember where you are coming from." For 31-year-old, Nicholas Owen, this meant bringing joy to his grandfather’s hometown, by treating the children to school supplies.

Faces glowing with excitement, the children of St. Richard's Hall, a small district in Sligoville, St.Catherine, queued eagerly to receive their back-to-school supplies. Each child present received a backpack, filled with pencils, crayons, notebooks, and a stationary case.

Sharing on the importance of giving back to the community, Owen said, “I’ve spent most of my childhood summers here in Jamaica, and made some of my greatest memories, being able to give back means a lot. I also see my younger self in all of these children. I hope these school supplies will help to ease some of the back-to-school costs off their parents.”

Grandmother of two, Michelle Russell, in expressing her gratitude, shared, “I appreciate this so much, and it will really help me to get them ready for school in September, my grandkids and I are very grateful.”

Announcing plans of making the donation an annual installment, Owen said, “I am very passionate about education, I think it’s very important that children are fully equipped to learn in school. I definitely plan on following up on this, bigger and bigger each year. I want to give back as much as I can, no matter how small my company is or how big it gets, I will always remember where I’m from.”
