In response to the impending threat of Hurricane Beryl, a Category 5 hurricane, the Global Empowerment Mission (GEM) based in Doral, Florida, is mobilizing extensive hurricane relief efforts to aid the Caribbean islands. Led by Michael Capponi, GEM is preparing to send 2,000 pre-packaged pallets of essential supplies to Jamaica by air and sea.
Capponi emphasized the urgency and importance of the mission, highlighting that their volunteers are already on the ground in various Caribbean islands, assessing the immediate needs of the local populations. The initial focus of the relief effort is to provide food and water, followed by medical supplies. Subsequent shipments will include tarps and roof shingles to aid in the reconstruction of homes and infrastructure damaged by the hurricane.
GEM is calling on the South Florida community to support their relief efforts by volunteering to help pack and load the pallets of supplies. Those interested in contributing can find more information and volunteer opportunities by visiting WIOD.com.
Michael Capponi, President of GEM, stated that having volunteers on the ground in each island is crucial for understanding the specific needs of the affected communities. The organization is dedicated to ensuring that the right supplies are delivered promptly to those in need.
As Hurricane Beryl approaches, the efforts of GEM and its volunteers are vital in providing much-needed support and resources to the Caribbean islands, aiming to mitigate the impact of the hurricane and aid in the recovery process.
