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.
