The Beast Has Arrived!

March 14, 2017/ Lindsey Christ

Welcome to the Beast! The newest in the Forfar Vehicle Fleet! One of the challenges we face as an organization is the importation fees we have to pay for everything we bring to the island. Import taxes in the Bahamas are very high. Vehicles are twice as much as they are here and food is 1/3 more as well. Vehicles and boat engines are critical for our programming and must be budgeted for well in advance due to the costs. More vehicles and engines to come! Remember, donations to IFS are fully tax-deductible and will be put to good use to improve our programming!
