In recognition of the fact that children in the inner city communities were going hungry as schools were closed and they relied on receiving breakfast and lunch at school on a daily basis, and with the genesis of remote learning (October 2020), the JWN Foundation distributed 500 food packages valued at $500,000.00 (€2,878.87), and supermarket vouchers valued at $50,000 (€287.89) each, to four schools in Kingston— Balmagie, Seaward, Seaview Gardens and St. Patrick’s Primary schools, reaching 1,000 children on the schools’ welfare programmes directly, and their extended families of approximately 6,000 persons indirectly.
