JAMAICAN AMERICAN CONNECTION
JAC strives to recognize the unique cultural needs of the Jamaican and the Caribbean diaspora while we connect and build meaningful partnerships with our brothers and sisters from the local communities within Connecticut and beyond.
We are committed to providing resources, programs, and events that will help to enrich the lives of members of this community and foster a sense of solidarity and connection.
Hurricane Melissa Relief
Hurricane Melissa will bring damaging winds, life threatening flooding, mudslides, and property damage. JAC is ready to offer support to those impacted on the island to bring necessary food, goods and supplies. Your assistance is necessary to ensure the impact of our relief efforts.
Community Service is what drives us.
Community Service is paramount to our purpose. As such, we have
