Jamaica Crisis Relief Collection Launches at Wolverhampton’s Heritage Centre

Following the devastation caused by Hurricane Melissa, the Wolverhampton community has united to support those impacted in Jamaica through the Jamaica Crisis Relief appeal.

A collection point has been established at The Heritage Centre, Whitmore Reans, Wolverhampton (WV6 0AA), where residents and community members are encouraged to drop off essential supplies to aid recovery efforts. Donations can be made Friday to Monday, between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM.

The appeal calls for a range of urgently needed items, including batteries, bedding foam, cots, flashlights, lanterns, pillows, non-perishable food, ropes, tarpaulins, hygiene kits, and water purification supplies. These contributions will go directly toward supporting families and communities in Jamaica as they rebuild their lives.
