“My name is Chef Mathieu, and together with World Central Kitchen, we are preparing to face the difficult days ahead…”
Since sharing that message on Sunday, Canadian Chef Mathieu Masson-Duceppe has confirmed to the Jamaica Observer that more than 65 volunteers — including chefs, cooks and helpers — have already joined the effort. A GoFundMe has also been launched and has so far raised US$1,105 to help feed communities expected to be hardest hit by Hurricane Melissa.
The team’s mission is simple: prepare thousands of warm meals for families who may lose access to food and supplies. They’re still accepting more cooks, dishwashers, and donations — because as Chef Mathieu says, “Any help is good help.”
Chef Duceppe was the Chopped Canada Season 2 winner and executive chef of Montreal restaurants Jellyfish Crudo et Charbon and the Pubjelly.

Transgender Jamaicans are often left out of relief efforts and are discriminated against when seeking access to care. If you can, pls consider donating to local relief efforts that prioritises the trans population: https://t.co/SaOZS3uxGc

Today, I’m pleased to announce the launch of https://t.co/DLpVpnsuOv, the Government of Jamaica’s official platform to coordinate relief, mobilize support, and manage recovery efforts in the wake of Hurricane Melissa.
The site allows users to donate securely, submit pledges, report emergencies, and locate nearby shelters. It is designed to serve Jamaicans at home and abroad who wish to assist with national recovery efforts.
Please remember, if it doesn’t end with .gov.jm, it is not an official Government of Jamaica website.
