A Final Bite of Conch from Colina

Insurer Sponsors Paradise Plates to Aid Hands for Hunger

Paradise Island, The Bahamas, December 7, 2019 – Colina Insurance Limited sponsored the ‘Final Bite of Food’ at Paradise Plates – Hands for Hunger’s signature fundraising event. Attendees received a Colina branded conch dish as they exited the large food festival held in the Imperial Ballroom at the Atlantis Resort. The anticipated annual event drew a crowd of nearly two thousand guests who, throughout the evening, sampled dishes and drinks from over forty of the island’s top chefs and beverage purveyors while enjoying performance by top local entertainers.

“Hands for Hunger has served more than a million meals to Bahamian families during its brief existence and we fully support their vision of a Bahamas where no one goes hungry,” said Maxine Seymour, Director, Corporate Communications, Colina Insurance Limited. “I had a spectacular time this evening, supporting the cause. Conch ‘n’ Cone is a small locally owned business that uses native ingredients in a fun way and should be commended on the delicious final bite dish they created for this event.”

Paradise Plates concluded at midnight with a Junkanoo parade that ushered people out of the ballroom to the popular Conch ‘n’ Cone retro-themed food truck where they queued up for a Colina branded signature conch dish – a final bite of food to enjoy on the way home.
