MADISON — The Madison Rotary is collecting donations to support recovery efforts in Jamaica following the devastation caused by Hurricane Melissa. Partnering with the Madison Area YMCA, the Rotary is assisting the Jamaican government’s Office of Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Management, which will distribute relief items directly to those impacted.
With most residents having lost their homes and belongings — and essential goods in short supply — the community is urged to help by donating new clothing and personal care items.
Donations will be accepted through Wednesday, November 19, at the Madison Area YMCA, 111 Kings Road. Requested items include:
• New T-shirts and underwear for men, women, and children
• Feminine hygiene products (in original packaging)
