Restaurant Chain and Non-Profit Unite to Support Hurricane Melissa Relief Efforts

In the wake of the devastation caused by Hurricane Melissa in Jamaica, Golden Krust, the premier Jamaican fast-casual restaurant group, is joining forces with The American Friends of Jamaica (AFJ) and a coalition of leading partners to provide critical relief to communities across the island.

With deep roots in Jamaica and a long-standing tradition of giving back, Golden Krust has launched this initiative system-wide at over 100 restaurants to stand in solidarity with those affected and help to mobilize resources for recovery. This initiative will encompass the following efforts:

1. Relief Fund for Jamaica – Golden Krust is championing a national effort to raise over $250,000, with proceeds supporting on-the-ground relief initiatives led by AFJ and its partner organizations. Golden Krust is kickstarting the fund with a $10,000 donation.
2. Donations at Checkout – Guests at participating Golden Krust restaurants can contribute $1, $3, or $5 at checkout, with 100% of proceeds benefiting Hurricane Melissa relief efforts. The program will run through the end of the year.
3. Boxes of Hope – At Golden Krust locations nationwide, customers can donate relief goods for Jamaica, including non-perishable food and essential items, to be shipped directly to affected areas.

“Golden Krust was built on the values of community and compassion passed down from our founders in Jamaica,” said Steven Clarke, Vice President of Marketing at Golden Krust. “In partnership with AFJ and our fellow organizations, we are committed to delivering meaningful aid and hope to those most affected by Hurricane Melissa.”
