The Jarrett Foundation has donated 100,000 masks to the Council of Voluntary Social Services (CVSS) to assist members of the organisation to protect its front line members from COVID-19.
The donation is part of an overall two million masks given to Jamaica.
Dr Pearl Jarrett, chief executive director of the Jarrett Foundation made the presentation to the CVSS recently at its head office on Camp Road.
“I see Jamaica as my heritage, my roots. So as far as I’m concerned, I’m going to use my gift to make a difference and I enjoy doing so because of the impact it has and I believe it is my purpose and the reason why I’m still here,” said Dr Jarrett who is a cancer survivor and of Jamaican heritage.
She stated that over the years, the foundation has contributed more than $45 million in donations to Jamaica since 2012. The donation include school supplies, furniture, text books, computers and laptops, sports equipment, sports clothing, equipment for disabled students, among other items. Read More
