The Town of Palm Beach United Way has launched a relief fund to assist Caribbean countries hit hard by Hurricane Melissa.
The Hurricane Melissa Recovery Fund, which was opened Oct. 30 with a $50,000 dollar-for-dollar matching gift from Town of Palm Beach Mayor Danielle Moore, will support rapid-relief operations in communities impacted by the Category 5 storm, which battered Haiti and Jamaica Oct. 28 before moving toward Cuba, the Bahamas and Turks and Caicos.
