About Program
JVP offers a wide range of community volunteering opportunities, catering to diverse interests, from working with youth to assisting the elderly and contributing to local soup kitchens.
Volunteering in our feeding program is particularly impactful in Negril, Jamaica, where poverty is a pressing issue. St. Anthony’s Kitchen, managed by the Mary Gate of Heaven Roman Catholic Church, serves 40 children breakfast and provides hot lunches to about 120 people daily. Established in April 2010, this initiative is driven by dedicated Roman Catholic Church members who find immense joy in serving their community.
