More than 10,000 residents in St. Catherine, Clarendon and Manchester have been assisted with care packages and other support by the Central Jamaica Conference (CJC) of Seventh-day Adventists. At the onset of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the organisation established a programme where the weekly needs of its members and community persons were assessed and responses made to the neediest across the three parishes. President of the CJC, Pastor Levi Johnson, told JIS News that all the pastors in the 54 pastoral districts, the community service leaders, and the parish action development committees have been placed on a mission of care, compassion, connection, safety and love. “All that we do during this crisis will be cushioned from that platform…wherever the needs are, and funds are available, this is what we intend to do through this crisis.
