Rebuilding Jamaica's Farms & Communities Together

The Crisis

Hurricane Melissa has devastated Jamaica's agricultural heartland, destroying crops, farmlands, and homes across rural communities. Thousands of farmers who feed the nation have lost everything. Families are without shelter, clean water, and basic necessities.

The need is urgent. The time to act is NOW.

Our Mission

From Grass to Grace (503c) has joined forces with Orca Intelligence, Upling, IndyGeneus Bio, and Harvest Caribbean Missions Fellowship to organize a direct relief campaign to provide essential tools, supplies, and resources to help Jamaican farmers and families rebuild their lives and livelihoods.

We're not just sending thoughts and prayers—we're sending hammers, nails, and hope.

Suggested Donation Impact:

$25 = 10 hammers + 5 lbs of nails
$50 = 50 feet of PVC piping + fittings
$100 = Complete hygiene kit for 10 families
$250 = Agricultural starter kit with seeds, tools, and irrigation supplies
$500 = Rebuilding kit with lumber, tarps, and essential tools
$1,000 = Support for 5 farming families with tools, seeds, and supplies
