Rebuilding Jamaica

Items for Jamaica hurricane relief

Praise Cathedral is joining other churches and disaster relief organizations to rebuild Jamaica. Aside from money, there are also practical things that Jamaicans will need.

We start collecting on Wednesday November 12. Collections of needed items will take place: after church on Sundays; on Wednesdays from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. and Monday through Friday during office hours.

See the full post for the specific list, PDF flyer and schedule of when to bring items to Praise Cathedral.

Hurricane relief

Pitch in and help Jamaica

On October 28, Jamaica was struck by Hurricane Melissa, a catastrophic Category 5 storm — the strongest ever recorded in the nation’s history. Entire communities have been devastated: homes flattened, roads washed away, countless families left without shelter, food, or clean water and many churches demolished. The people of Jamaica are facing unimaginable hardship, and now, more than ever, they need our compassion and support to rebuild their lives and their country.

You can make a real difference by contributing to ongoing relief efforts. Every donation, regardless of size, helps provide emergency shelter, medical aid, food supplies, rebuilding of churches and long-term recovery assistance for those affected. Volunteer organizations are working tirelessly on the ground. But they cannot do it alone. Here are two ways to do it.
