We are a group of people interested in making a difference in the lives of Jamaicans. We want to utilize the opportunities and benefits that we have gained in our US communities to support Educational and Healthcare projects in Jamaica.

Some of our previous projects included a "shoes-a-thon" and "Angel Tree", where we collected shoes and Christmas gifts for a children's home in Jamaica.

Please join us at our next monthly meeting! You will be sure to make many new friends whilst helping those that are most in need on the island of Jamaica.

Join Friends of Jamaica

You'll get invited to our Meetups as soon as they're scheduled!
