Hurricane Melissa made landfall in Jamaica on October 28th, bringing devastating winds, torrential rainfall, and widespread infrastructure damage that overwhelmed communities. Entire neighborhoods faced severe flooding, blocked roadways, and extended power and water outages, leaving thousands of families displaced or isolated with limited access to basic necessities and safe hydration.
DripDrop’s impact partners, Global Empowerment Mission, Heart to Heart, and Operation BBQ Relief, mobilized swiftly to deliver aid across impacted regions of Jamaica. As part of their relief efforts, these organizations distributed DripDrop electrolyte powder directly to shelters, response teams, and hard-hit communities, ensuring both residents and frontline workers had access to effective hydration.
