SPECIAL FAITHWORKS CAMPAIGN In the wake of Hurricane Melissa, one of the strongest hurricanes to ever strike Jamaica, the scale of devastation is staggering, with homes, infrastructure and livelihoods destroyed and half of Jamaica’s houses of worship damaged or destroyed. The FaithWorks Allocation Committee has approved a dollar-for-dollar matching challenge of up to $50,000, with the goal of raising at least $100,000 for relief and reconstruction. Every gift will be matched, doubling its impact, until the challenge is met. This is a short, focused campaign, ending on April 17. FaithWorks invites parishes and individuals to respond promptly and generously. Donations can be made online at FaithWorks.ca and designated to the Bishop’s Appeal for Jamaican Relief and Reconstruction. All funds will be forwarded to Alongside Hope for distribution through its established partners in Jamaica.
