Hurricane Melissa Relief Campaign
Caribbean Association of North Carolina - Relief efforts for Jamaica
🌟 NC Together for Jamaica 🌟
When disaster strikes one of our islands, we all feel it. The Caribbean Association of North Carolina (CAONC) was founded on the belief that unity, compassion, and cultural pride can move mountains.
In response to Hurricane Melissa’s devastation in Jamaica, our mission is simple yet powerful: to mobilize the North Carolina Caribbean community and our allies to deliver direct relief, restore hope, and rebuild lives.
💚 How You Can Help Power Our Mission
Donate: Every dollar counts. Contribute now to help us reach our goal.
Share: Spread the word! Share our campaign with your friends, family, and on social media — your advocacy amplifies our impact.
Volunteer: Your time and skills can make a meaningful difference.
We are partnering with local organizations, community members, and trusted on-the-ground teams in Jamaica to ensure every contribution reaches those who need it most.
This campaign is more than a fundraiser — it’s a call to connection, a way for us to show up for each other, share resources, and stand together across borders and backgrounds.
💛 Our Goals
- Provide essential relief supplies, including food, hygiene items, medical aid, and rebuilding materials.
- Support recovery and rebuilding efforts in the hardest-hit communities.
- Strengthen collaboration among Caribbean organizations, businesses, and students in North Carolina.
Together, we’re building a bridge of love and support from North Carolina to Jamaica.
Because when we uplift one island, we uplift us all. 🌎🇯🇲
Transparency & Distribution
We believe in accountability. Every donation and shipment is tracked and shared through updates and community posts. We coordinate directly with on-the-ground partners to ensure transparency from start to finish.
A Message from Aleisha Harding, President
“Together for Jamaica is more than a campaign — it’s family answering family. Many of us know how it feels when disaster strikes and help takes too long to arrive. We’re moving with urgency, heart, and integrity. Every act of support — whether funds, supplies, or time — goes directly to families rebuilding with hope.”
Together for Jamaica
We’re mobilizing the North Carolina Caribbean community and our allies statewide to collect essential supplies and donations that bring hope and relief to those most affected.
Every contribution, no matter the amount, makes a real difference.
