St. Thomas University Partners with Global Empowerment Mission (GEM) to Aid Jamaica Following Hurricane Melissa
Free Spirit Outreach mobilizes over a dozen volunteers and a shipping container of supplies to aid Jamaica’s poorest communities vulnerable to Category 5 Hurricane Melissa.
- Free Spirit Outreach announced it will send a shipping container and volunteers to Jamaica, as the organization prepares for urgent hurricane relief, Lewis said.
- Hurricane Melissa struck Jamaica as a Category 5 storm with sustained winds up to 185 mph, causing widespread infrastructure damage while communities served by Free Spirit Outreach faced risks from makeshift houses not built to withstand major hurricanes.
- Partnering with logistics groups, Free Spirit works with Global Empowerment Mission whose Doral, Florida warehouse enables rapid deployment; GEM has delivered $620 million in aid and committed $10 million to Jamaica.
- Lincoln Lewis said teams on the ground are ready to distribute food and care packages and urged the Palm Beach County community to donate or volunteer via Free Spirit Outreach website.
- Lewis's personal Hurricane Gilbert experience in 1988 motivates the effort, while Free Spirit previously aided Jamaica after Hurricane Beryl last year and STU said `Jamaica is more than our neighbor, it is part of our extended family`.
