Righteousness Promotions gives food packages to 115 Corporate Area homeless persons

Some 115 homeless people across the Corporate Area were treated to food packages from Righteousness Promotions 

Winston Mayhew told The STAR that the company’s flagship event, Early Sundehzz, a street party, has not been held since March 2020, owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Despite the setback, he said the company was moved to offer a helping hand to the less fortunate.

“Early Sundehzz nah keep, suh we are using some of the resources to put in charity,” said Mayhew, a director and videographer.

Mayhew explained that this was not the first time the team embarked on a charity initiative but noted that in the past, it was usually community based. 

“We try to reach out to everybody in any way we can. The homeless exist and they need attention too,” he said. 

The gesture was made possible through sponsorship from Excelsior, Boom Energy Drink and personal contributions. 

Mayhew added that the team hopes to donate to the homeless again in short order. 

“God bless yuh enuh. It was needed,” those were the words of a homeless man as he accepted a package in Half-Way-Tree, St Andrew. 

Anthony Lopez, 75, was also grateful for the package he received. 

“I feel good that I get this. I don’t know if soap is in there but I need soap to bathe,” he said. 

A woman who became homeless recently said she picked up dinner from a church moments earlier and the package will supplement Monday’s meal.
