Ways to Support the Relief Effort

Donate Essential Supplies

The relief effort welcomes contributions of nonperishable canned foods, hygiene products, baby supplies, clothing, blankets, toys, and other essential items. These donations will be sent directly to Jamaica to provide critical assistance to families and communities.

Monetary Contributions

Suggested charitable channels include:

  • Food for the Poor Jamaica
  • Mercy Corps
  • Jamaica Red Cross

Additionally, CHO is seeking $5,000 USD to assist in shipping the donations to Jamaica. Please use the secure PayPal donation button below — all funds raised through this campaign will go directly toward the relief operations.
