In times of disaster, the United Way of Jamaica (UWJ) has always sprung into action to provide relief and assistance to the most vulnerable.
The UWJ/St Vincent & The Grenadine-Disaster Relief Fund launched today is aimed at assisting with restoration efforts following the recent volcanic eruptions in St Vincent and the Grenadines.
Donations to the fund will assist with the immediate needs of COVID-19 personal protective gears, water, bedding, sanitary products for babies, the elderly and women, along with other items.
Chorvelle Johnson Cunningham, Chair of the United Way of Jamaica shared that “the United Way Jamaica stands ready to assist, through our network as we are uniquely positioned to provide immediate disaster response, including raising funds and providing resources to assist in any way possible.”
The National Council for Senior Citizens (NCSC) has expanded its Meals on Wheels feeding programme to several rural communities.
Under the programme, cooked meals are provided for the elderly and shut-ins during the week and food packages on public holidays.
Persons are able to benefit from the provisions based on the extent of their needs.
Meals were initially provided to senior citizens in the Corporate Area who are registered under the programme.
However, Labour and Social Minister, Karl Samuda, who has portfolio responsibility for the NCSC, said the decision was taken to expand the initiative and make the benefits available to more persons across the country.
