Donate to Jamaica Hurricane Relief

Hurricane Melissa has caused devastating damage across Jamaica, leaving many communities in urgent need of help. The City of Toronto is working with the Jamaican Canadian Association and local organizations to support relief efforts. Torontonians can help by:

• Making a financial donation to the Jamaican Canadian Association’s Hurricane Melissa Relief Fund through Canada Helps
• Dropping off essential items at select Toronto Fire Stations locations listed below

Requested Items

• Basic necessities: bottled water, non-perishable foods (canned goods, rice, beans, pasta), baby formula, hygiene supplies (soap, toothpaste, sanitary pads, diapers), sanitizer and wipes, towels and washcloths, bed linens (new)
• Shelter: tarpaulins, ropes, duct tape, buckets, cleaning supplies, flashlights, batteries, small tools (hammers, nails, screwdrivers, drills), solar lamps
• Medical Supplies: first aid kits, bandages, antiseptic creams, gloves and face masks

When dropping off items, knock on the front door to ensure there are staff onsite before leaving items behind. Collections will be accepted until the end of the year. All contributions will be coordinated in partnership with the Jamaican Canadian Association to ensure they reach those most in need.
