Golden Krust and Partners Unite for Hurricane Relief Support
Golden Krust Joins Hands with American Friends of Jamaica
In response to the severe impacts of Hurricane Melissa, the renowned fast-casual restaurant group, Golden Krust, is launching an impactful initiative to support families affected in Jamaica. This initiative reflects Golden Krust's long-standing commitment to community service and its Jamaican roots.
Relief Fund and Community Support
Golden Krust is mobilizing efforts across its network of over 100 restaurants. The initiative aims to raise substantial funds to provide immediate relief to those in need. With the goal of raising over $250,000, the Relief Fund will directly support various initiatives that aim to rebuild and provide assistance to communities within Jamaica.
Community Engagement through Donations
Guests visiting participating Golden Krust restaurants will have the chance to contribute to the Hurricane Melissa Relief Efforts directly at checkout. Options to donate $1, $3, or $5 are available, and all proceeds collected will be used to assist families recovering from the hurricane's devastation. This program forms a meaningful part of the broader relief initiative and will run until the year's end.
Boxes of Hope Initiative
In addition to monetary donations, Golden Krust is initiating a 'Boxes of Hope' campaign, encouraging customers to donate necessary non-perishable food items and essential goods that will be shipped directly to Jamaica.
A Testament to Community Values
Steven Clarke, Vice President of Marketing at Golden Krust, emphasized the brand's commitment to the community, stating, "Golden Krust was built on the values of community and compassion passed down from our founders in Jamaica. Together with AFJ and other organizations, we strive to provide critical support and hope to those affected by Hurricane Melissa."
Collaborative Efforts for Greater Impact
This relief initiative showcases a collaboration among numerous partners, including the NCB Foundation, Food For The Poor (FFP), Global Empowerment Mission (GEM), Sanmerna Foundation, Office of Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Management (ODPEM), JetBlue, and Dennis Shipping. By working together, these organizations aim to maximize resources to aid families and help rebuild impacted areas.
