The CHASE Fund provided financial assistance to acquire fixed assets needed in seven children’s homes identified by the Lions Club of New Kingston. The Lions Club through their own fund-raising efforts, will provide the homes on an ongoing basis with replenishable supplies such as food items, school supplies, sanitary products, personal hygiene products, and toiletries. Homes being supported include the Andrew Parish Church Home for Girls, Muirton Boys Home, Mustard Seed Communities, Transitional Living Facility – Lady Musgrave Road, Strathmore Gardens Children’s Home, Transitional Living Facility – Palmoral Avenue, and the Annie Dawson Home for Children.
Funding provided by CHASE, fits within the mandate of the Fund to provide support toward building, upgrading, restoring and equipping health facilities, children’s homes, palliative and drug rehabilitation centres, AIDS hospices and shelters for the homeless.
