A roof. Four walls. A safe place to sleep. Many families in Jamaica are still waiting for a place to call home since Hurricane Melissa destroyed many houses and displaced loved ones across the island.

Help us today with a gift towards this November's home building mission with a goal of raising $250,000 to build ten homes for families in need.

Hear what inspired one volunteer to support this mission. Join her by donating today.

Food For The Poor-Canada was truly honoured to receive the Community Service Award as the Jamaican Canadian Association (JCA) celebrated its 64th Anniversary.

This recognition means so much because it reflects the heart of our work: showing up for vulnerable individuals, families, and communities, and together making a difference.

We are especially grateful for our partnership with the Jamaican Canadian Association following Hurricane Melissa, as we collaborated to provide emergency response to communities across Jamaica after the storm.

A huge thank you to our donors, partners, staff, supporters, and the greater Food For The Poor network - this award belongs to you all.

A special thank you to the Jamaican Canadian Association for this meaningful recognition. We are inspired to keep building hope, creating opportunities, and making a difference together.

We’re back from an incredible week in Jamaica, after working on a school build with Helping Hands Jamaica Foundation—our amazing donor partner celebrating their 20-year anniversary and completion of their 28th school in Jamaica.

50+ volunteers gathered to work on rebuilding Fyffe’s Pen Primary & Infant School after it was damaged by Hurricane Melissa.

A huge thank you to Helping Hands Jamaica Fnd. and everyone who gave their time, energy, and support to make this school rebuild possible. ❤️

The maternity ward at Mahaicony Cottage Hospital in Guyana has been upgraded with new equipment and facility improvements to better support mothers, newborns, and healthcare workers.

With delivery beds, a neonatal cot, an autoclave, and other essential upgrades now in place, the ward has already recorded 10 safe deliveries since reopening.

This project is helping improve maternal healthcare access, strengthen community trust in local services, and ensure women in rural communities can give birth safely and with dignity.

No student should have to choose between their education and their next meal.

Food insecurity is a daily reality for many university students in Jamaica—but initiatives like the GK Campus Connect Food Bank are making a difference.

With support from the GraceKennedy Foundation and FFTP Canada, 200 students receive monthly food assistance—including 60 students directly supported by FFTP Canada—helping them stay nourished, focused, and on track to succeed.

Together, we can build a future where every student has access to the nutrition they need to thrive.
