~Just my two cents worth - I mostly only comment on places I've seen and or eaten at personally.
If you are considering a gift of money, Father Jim whose church is directly across from Coco La Palm runs a much needed soup kitchen and a breakfast program for hungry kids. Not sure if there could be a much better gift than to donate to that program.
lets see, hot wheels cars for all the kids. snack size candy bars and what ever i might buy in the grocery line for kids. home depot had 10 flashlights for $15 with batteries. i bring the largest shampoo and stuff and always leave behind. people love peanut butter, available but expensive' i give away glow sticks when partying at corner bar on nye, make kid happy and mom and dad are happy .cold pills and pain pills are a great one. thats a start been in red ground for 40 years and always things for the kids...will be in red ground from dec 15 thru jan 7....i will be the guy with the big smile and sporting a green Michigan State University hat waiting for our nye game

I usually hit up the local Dollar Store for crayons, colored pencils, coloring books, kid's books & various school supplies....

Oh man. MSU fans on negril.com? Guard your couches people!
any sort of OTC medication, chocolate, snacks of any kind like peanut butter crackers etc, inexpensive perfume, shower gels, lotion, candles, air fresher for the home and car
Seeds.
I usually ask my friends in Negril if they need anything specifically that can't be obtained in Negril. Like White Castle Cheeseburgers!!
Another good charity is St. Anthony's Soup Kitchen on Nampriel Road past the Bus Park
Board Member Kathy posted this back in 2010 regarding the soup kitchen:

I bring an inexpensive flashlight or two and a inexpensive multi tool for each trip. At the end of the trip I leave them with a security guard.

Deodorant, body wash, toothpaste, t-shirts, tooth-brushes,shampoo, 2 dollar bills [grin] , a backpack for our 4 year old Carla. coloring books, pencils, stickers, perfume for 18 year old Colleen. You know, just "stuff" . Stuff we take for granted. The look on Camesha's face when we handed her a 3 pack of womens Secret deodorant was priceless. It was like we handed her a piece of gold! Respect. As John Lennon said....."Imagine all the people"......36 years ago people!
