Jamaica YES Helps Make History Through Service!

On June 13, 2026, members of Jamaica YES proudly joined more than 1,000 volunteers at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, to help set a Guinness World Record while serving our community.
Together with Tango Charities' Feed the City, volunteers created an incredible 20,322 sandwiches within an hour, forming the Longest Line of Sandwiches ever recorded, stretching 1.44 miles!

The greatest achievement, however, wasn't the world record—it was ensuring that every one of those 20,322 sandwiches was immediately distributed to neighbors experiencing food insecurity through community partners, including Mission Arlington,
New Life Church, and 5 Loaves.

At Jamaica YES, we believe that service, unity, and compassion can transform lives. We are honored to have been part of this historic event and grateful to our members who represented our organization with dedication and heart.

Hurricane Melissa Relief update: Thanks to your incredible generosity, more than $23,350 was raised in less than 60 days to support the Hurricane Melissa relief efforts.

* We immediately reached out to each of the 16 schools we support to understand their most urgent needs following the storm.

* To date, $17,312 has been directed toward critical repairs and recovery efforts based on what the schools shared with us.

* While meaningful progress has been made, several schools are still working toward full restoration.

* The balance of $6,038 will continue to be carefully allocated as schools identify ongoing priorities resulting from Hurricane Melissa.

Your support is helping these schools move closer to being whole again—restoring not just buildings, but safe spaces where children can learn, grow, and look toward a brighter future.

Jamaica YES Volunteers at the 2026 Frisco Bowl Golf Classic
Members of Jamaica YES were proud to volunteer at the 2026 Frisco Bowl Golf Classic, held on May 14, 2026, at PGA Frisco Fields Ranch.

The annual tournament supports Frisco Fastpacs, a primary beneficiary of the event, helping provide weekend meals for local students experiencing food insecurity. The Golf Classic also brought together golfers, sponsors, volunteers, and community leaders in support of this important mission, alongside the Boys & Girls Clubs of Collin County.

At Jamaica YES, we believe that serving our community is one of the most meaningful ways to fulfill our mission of Changing Children's Lives. We are honored to support organizations that work every day to ensure children and families have access to the
resources they need to thrive.

A heartfelt thank you to our Jamaica YES volunteers for their dedication and commitment to making a positive impact. Together, we are helping build a stronger, healthier community—one act of service at a time.

Members of Jamaica YES volunteered at the 2026 PGA CJ Cup Byron Nelson Golf Tournament (the first Byron Nelson named tournament was in 1968) in McKinney, Texas. The members were assigned to Guest Services out on the golf course, assisting guests by answering questions, providing directions, and helping them navigate the course and event activities.

Volunteering at the tournament offered a chance to meet many other volunteers and community members. The tournament benefited the Momentous Institute. The Momentous Institute, a Dallas-based nonprofit owned and operated by the Salemanship Club of Dallas, helps with mental health and education for children and families (directly serving over 7,800 children and families annually all over the US).

Jamaica YES is proud to support initiatives that strengthen communities and create opportunities for positive impact both locally and abroad.

Our annual Bowl-a-Thon on May 16th was filled with fun and laughter, especially regarding our bowling skills or lack there of for some.

We extend our thanks to everyone who supported the event through their generous donations. Because of your kindness and commitment, it helps us to continue with making an impact regarding the funding of the breakfast programs for underserved school children in Jamaica. Thank you for being part of the effort.
