In January 2026, the Rotary Club of St. Andrew (RCSA) received a shipping container of hurricane relief supplies from a Texas-based group led by a member of the Jamaican diaspora. The donated items were valued at approximately US$15,225, or J$2.3 million. An additional J$200,000 was incurred to cover customs duties and transportation costs, half of which was waived by a local trucking company as part of its contribution to the effort.

RCSA partnered with the Anglican Diocese of Jamaica, which provided storage and facilitated the packaging of the relief supplies at St. Luke’s Church. Further support came from Rotaractors, church volunteers, family members, friends, and employees of Rotarians who assisted with the packaging process. The items were distributed through Anglican churches in Kingston, St. Andrew, and May Pen, reaching affected communities in St. Elizabeth and Hanover. A significant portion of the supplies was also delivered to Kew Park in Westmoreland.
