With the help of all who Donated and bought tickets to Suga Lifestyle’s Christmas Connection last December, you helped us feed 200 persons.

Last Friday, the Rotaract Club of New Kingston handed over Food items and bags of Clothing to the Marie Atkins Night Shelter on Hanover Street in Downtown, Kingston. They were able to do this with our help, Grace Kennedy, Rotary Club of New Kingston, Family and Friends.

We would usually to do a Health Fair and Treat for the Day, but unfortunately could not do so in light of Covid. So, our mission is to feed 1000 members of our homeless community by the end of March with Chicken, Rice and other food items. If you can help in any way, please let us know.

Kudos to the Rotaract Club of New Kingston as they truly love what they do and it has been a pleasure for Suga Lifestyle to collaborate with them.

It’s World Polio Day! Help Eradicate Polio from the 3 Countries left with it in the World

by CharitiesHealth & FitnessWhat's Hot

It’s World Polio Day. In 1988, the Polio virus was endemic to 125 countries.
Today, only 3 countries in the world have never stopped the transmission of Polio- Pakistan, Afghanistan and    Nigeria. Despite the progress achieved since 1988, as long as a single child remains infected with Poliovirus, children in all countries are at risk of contracting the disease.

According to CDC Global Health, Polio, or poliomyelitis, is a crippling and potentially deadly infectious disease. It is caused by the poliovirus. The virus spreads from person to person and can invade an infected person’s brain and spinal cord, causing paralysis, where persons cannot move parts of the body.

There is NO cure for Polio, but vaccines can protect a child for life.

Canned food was donated to the Shelter and Clothing and Care Packages including Toothpaste, Toothbrushes, Soap etc. were distributed to the members of the Homeless Community of Downtown, Kingston.
