THE Council of Voluntary Social Services (CVSS) is implementing a series of activities centred on giving back to those who are most in need.
The initiative, dubbed the Season of Care, began on December 5 and will last throughout the month.
Kim Mair, interim chair of CVSS, said that because of the COVID-19 pandemic the organisation had to alter its ‘Day of Care’ programme through which they would have distributed care packages, clothing, hot breakfast and lunch, conducted medical assessments and provided edutainment to the homeless at St William Grant Park in downtown Kingston.
“This year, obviously because of COVID-19, we couldn’t have a large gathering Day of Care, but in partnership with the American Friends of Jamaica, the Private Sector Organisation of Jamaica, the United Way of Jamaica and the Jamaica Council of Churches, we will be having a series of food kitchens throughout the month of December for those in need,” she informed.
Other activities being organised for the month include outreach for people who have been affected by flooding experienced in November. This initiative, she said, will be in partnership with Shabba Party and Black Mind State that hosted a fund-raiser to assist those who have been affected. Read more
