Food For The Poor undertakes another round of relief initiative in Portland

Food For The Poor Responds to Portland Residents the Second Time Around:
Food For The Poor staff member, Leroy Rhooms (left), warmly greets a resident as he delivers a care package on Friday, November 23. This senior citizen was among the 300 residents of Barracks, Waybridge, Sand Shore and Kensington who benefited from FFP’s distribution of food, clothing, blankets, mattresses, cleaning kits and nutritional items. This is the second time since the passage of Hurricane Sandy that the charity showed the residents of Portland that their recovery was of paramount importance.  In FFP’s first visit to the parish on Sunday, October 28, over 700 residents received help.


Portland Residents Express Thanks for Help from Food For The Poor:
Following the severe damage to his home from Hurricane Sandy, which also left portions of the roof without zinc, this resident from Sand Shore in Portland eagerly secures a mattress that was donated by Food For The Poor (FFP) Jamaica.  Staff member, Romain Allen, made the presentation.  On Friday, November 23, team members from FFP Jamaica were busy distributing hurricane relief supplies in Portland to families that were most affected by Hurricane Sandy.  The communities that benefited included Barracks, Waybridge, Sand Shore and Kensington. 


Hurricane Ravaged Portland Residents Receive Assistance from Food For The Poor:
Several residents from Barracks, Waybridge, Sand Shore and Kensington in Portland were left with homes looking like this following the passage of Hurricane Sandy. Food For the Poor (FFP) Jamaica recently assisted these residents with much need hurricane relief supplies during a one-day distribution mission in the parish last Friday, Nov. 23.   Staff members went door-to-door delivering various items such as food, clothing, blankets, mattresses, WATA, cleaning kits and nutritional items.  The Charity is currently assessing what long term assistance can be offered to residents who were badly affected.
