As we approach the season of giving, we are thrilled to share a heartwarming story of generosity and community spirit. Today, we extend our deepest gratitude to Starry Mart, a local gem nestled in Canterbury, specialising in Asian groceries. Their unwavering support has brightened the lives of students at the University of Kent through their generous contribution to our Christmas Food & Gifts Appeal.
Starry Mart’s benevolence has made a significant impact by providing supplementary food to students who are facing financial challenges during the festive season. The warmth of their donation not only fills stomachs but also hearts with gratitude. Today, we were delighted to receive their thoughtful contributions on campus, a testament to their commitment to supporting our community.
This is not the first time Starry Mart has stepped up to make a difference. Over the years, they have been a steadfast supporter of various student societies, enriching campus life with their generosity. We want to express our sincere appreciation for their continuous dedication to the well-being of our student community.
At the heart of Starry Mart is Kevin Wang, the visionary owner who goes beyond running a successful business. His commitment to the local community is truly commendable. We are grateful for his consistent efforts in offering valuable job opportunities to our students seeking work experience. Kevin’s belief in empowering the younger generation is a beacon of inspiration.
The support of businesses like Starry Mart plays a crucial role in creating a supportive ecosystem for our students. It goes beyond financial assistance; it opens doors to opportunities and experiences that shape their future. As we convey our appreciation, we eagerly anticipate cultivating stronger ties with similar local businesses, establishing a network of mutual support and collaboration that enriches the experiences of our students and contributes positively to the community.
We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude not only to Starry Mart but to every individual and business that has generously supported the Christmas Food & Gifts Appeal. From our dedicated staff and supportive alumni to the wonderful members of the local community, your collective generosity has made a real and lasting impact on the lives of our students.
