New Juaben South MP celebrates Elderly with Annual “Shop ‘n’ Go” Event

Hon. Michael Okyere Baafi, Member of Parliament for New Juaben South and Deputy Minister of Trade and Industry responsible for Industries has shared that the annual “Shop ‘n’ Go” event held on Saturday, November 16, 2024, was an overwhelming success, bringing joy and gratitude to the elderly in the community.

This yearly initiative allows senior citizens or the aged in society to pick essential market items for free, serving as a gesture of appreciation for their invaluable contributions to society.

Shedding light on the event on social media, Hon. Baafi expressed his deep commitment to supporting the elderly, highlighting the importance of honouring their sacrifices.

“I organize this event every year because I deeply believe that the elderly are our mothers and fathers too, deserving of honour and care,” he said.

“As the Bible says in Exodus 20:12, ‘Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.'”

The “Shop ‘n’ Go” event has become an annual tradition in the constituency, providing a meaningful way to support the elderly who may find it difficult to access essential goods.

For many of the seniors, this event is not just about receiving free items but a reminder that they are valued members of the community.
