John J. Byrne Community Center Partners With ACC for Hurricane Melissa Relief

Hurricane Melissa has left a devastating impact on communities across Jamaica, displacing families, damaging homes, and interrupting everyday life for thousands. In response, Apostolic Caribbean Christians (ACC) has partnered with the John J. Byrne Community Center to launch a coordinated relief effort, and we’re calling on our community to help.
