We arrived Saturday for the second of what we hope will be many visits to Negril. On Monday we volunteered at St. Anthony's for the lunch service - they are now serving over 200 meals each Mon, Tues& Thurs. They are also sponsoring 38 kids in school and now have a thrift shop which helps pay the rent. They love volunteers to help out if you're in Negril and can spare a few hours. It's a great cause! Fr. Jim can always use cash donations too!
I did it when I was there over Thanksgiving! Wonderful people!! Mondays are busy days, aren't they... :D . Didn't "do" tuesday, but went back for chicken foot soup on Thanksgiving day. 4 young men from 7th day Adventist church were helping on Thursday, so I got to slack off and hung out with the peeps at the tables... Will be an annual thing!
Here is a link for St. Anthony's Kitchen's webpage that has the contact info.

Oh how wonderful did not know about this.
Wonderful place and Fr. Jim is the best! What a great soul. I helped out earlier this week getting them ready for their big Christmas distribution - which is happening today! We made 120 gift bags for the kids - another group packaged up as many bags of food yesterday. Its a nice thing to do - to take some time from your vacation and help these wonderful people out, it makes a huge difference.
I would like to volunteer when I go there. Where is it located in Negril?
It's located somewhat across the street from the cop-shop and car-park, set in a bit. Ask anyone - they'll know the exact location.
I think thats wonderful....Blessings to you all....
