No fewer than 2,000 vulnerable Abuja residents on Sunday received food items, shoes and clothing from the Everlasting Arms Parish, Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) in Garki.

The annual alms programme known as 'Tabitha Tent,' which began in 2007, is designed to support the poor and the vulnerables.

Some of the beneficiaries expressed appreciation to the donors and organisers of the programme.

They called on the government to initiate policies and programmes such as Tabitha Tent to alleviate the suffering of the common man.

A beneficiary, Mr Gonet Jato, said he received rice, beans and some other materials to support his family at the yuletide. (NAN)
