KW Cares, CORE, Aubyn Foundation and Treasure Bay Estates expand relief effort
Under the leadership of directors Brittany Ffrench and Keisha Whittingham, KW Cares Jamaica, in collaboration with Keller Williams Jamaica and Keller Williams Worldwide, continue to make a meaningful impact through its ongoing hurricane relief initiatives.
In support of these efforts, partners Community Organised Relief Effort (CORE), Aubyn Foundation, and Treasure Bay Estates joined in the distribution of care packages at Fullerswood Primary School in St Elizabeth on March 20, providing essential food items, clothing, and sanitary products to assist over 1,000 households in need. The community of Arlington in Vineyard also benefited from the outreach.
This collaborative effort underscores the importance of partnership in times of crisis, as organisations come together to extend their reach and ensure that assistance is delivered to the communities that need it most.

“KW Cares Jamaica has, for many years, remained deeply committed to nation building through a range of community-focused initiatives aimed at uplifting lives and strengthening communities. In the wake of Hurricane Melissa, the organisation recognised the urgent need to expand its outreach and intensify its efforts to support those most affected,” said Ffrench.
Since the passage of Hurricane Melissa, KW Cares Jamaica has remained steadfast in assisting affected families, contributing to the rebuilding and repair of homes across the western region of the island, while consistently delivering vital relief supplies alongside its partners.
“The scale of the disaster has underscored the importance of unity, resilience, and coordinated action. As communities begin the difficult process of recovery, KW Cares Jamaica is calling on partners, stakeholders, and citizens alike to come together in a shared mission. It is only through sustained, collective effort that the nation can rebuild stronger, more resilient, and better prepared for the future,” the co-director added.
These efforts are ongoing, with plans to host a benefit play and additional fundraising initiatives to further support impacted communities.
The other team members who were a part of the initiative included: Nevin Nish (Keller Williams Jamaica qualifying director), Shelly James (local consultant and project manager), Andrea Stultz-Rhône, Sharon Reynolds, Denise Lewis-Bridge, Romeo Farquahson, Jade Richardson, Amanda Saddler, Shelieka Dehaney, and Samantha Mortgage.
