CORPORATE JAMAICA is expressing much pride and joy after participating in the Private Sector of Jamaica (PSOJ) COVID-19 Jamaica Response Fund, which mobilised $200 million in resources: $131 million in cash and the rest in kind.
The initiative was a collaborative effort among the PSOJ, the Council of Voluntary Social Services (CVSS), American Friends of Jamaica and the United Way of Jamaica.The PSOJ COVID-19 Jamaica Response Fund was an integrated national response to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in Jamaica. The fund aimed to mitigate the threats associated with the pandemic by distributing aid to individuals and areas that needed it the most. As a result, 73,000 long-duration food packages were distributed; 10,000 cooked meals, and 60,000 masks were delivered.
