ORLANDO, Fla. — Relief efforts are still underway after Hurricane Beryl left destruction in Jamaica last year.

Hundreds of donated goods shipped from Orlando are now in the hands of Jamaicans in the hard-hit area of St. Elizabeth.

The Jamaican American Association of Central Florida spent a week gathering donations, packing them and shipping them to the island.

Those goods included first aid kits, cereal, water and hygiene products and canned foods, where it is all going to St. Elizabeth after Hurricane Beryl hit in July.

“We got some sanitary items, some medication,” said Patty Mason, as she was dropping off donations.

Organizers stored some of the donated goods in a room at the Holy Family Episcopal Church on Hiawassee Road in Orlando.

“They desperately need food,” said Joan Edghill, president of the Jamaican American Association of Central Florida. “Our members are chipping in. We’re not just asking, we’re also giving.”

Donations also include clothes and even board games like Monopoly.

After receiving some donations, the organization filled a barrel to the brim with supplies.

“It’s here now. We can start packing all this stuff,” said Mea Allman, vice president of the Jamaican American Association of Central Florida.

The nonprofit said they're sending the shipment to their people, so they feel there’s hope and they can build back resilience.

“This is our birthplace. So it’s always good to help families in need if we have the capability because we know this is a difficult time,” said Allman.

The team worked to finish packing up the last donations at the shipping facility.

The nonprofit ended up with more than what they thought they had. They had to switch to two large containers of supplies, fitting four to five barrels each and a large crate of water.

The Jamaican American Association of Central Florida stated it hopes to send more shipments in August, as well as cash, to help those still recovering from the hurricane.
