Alayah Hewie, the owner of the Hamptons-based Jamaican patty company Rena’s Dream Patties, has organized a Container of Love Drop-Off Day to collect donations for Jamaica hurricane relief from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday at the Green Thumb Organic Farm Stand in Water Mill.
Suggested donations include nonperishable food, water, hygiene items, full-size bedding, baby care items, solar lanterns, and gently used clothing. All items collected will be sent to Jamaica in a 40-foot shipping container, facilitated by Hanover Charities, providing direct relief to families who have been significantly impacted by Hurricane Melissa.
Those dropping off donations will also receive a complimentary hot soup and receive 10 percent off all purchases from the farm stand. More information about physical donation needs, and a link to a GoFundMe page for monetary donations, can be found on the @renasdreampatties Instagram.
