Corporate and Community Volunteers Mobilize Extensive Hurricane Melissa Relief in Jamaica

Following Hurricane Melissa, which caused significant devastation in Jamaica, various community and international groups have mobilized to support relief and recovery efforts. Jamaica's largest entertainment company, Hah-R-Mony Entertainment Limited, actively participated in cleanup operations in Montego Bay to clear debris and facilitate travel, emphasizing the importance of swift recovery for the upcoming tourism season. Meanwhile, the Croydon BME Forum in the UK is coordinating local humanitarian aid, soliciting volunteers and donations to assist those affected by the hurricane. In Bermuda, a large-scale volunteer effort successfully collected and organized donations for shipment to Jamaica, focusing on essential items such as toiletries, medical supplies, and nonperishable food due to overwhelming contributions of clothing and water. Additionally, Jamaican-born Andrea Morrison, owner of Hazel's Caribbean Restaurant in Brevard County, Florida, is contributing to relief efforts by donating a portion of her restaurant's proceeds. These combined initiatives underscore a broad, multinational commitment to helping Jamaica recover from the hurricane's severe impact.
