Tamarac to add Food for the Poor to charitable list as commissioners advocate local partners for Jamaica relief City staff reported collection of hurricane relief supplies and recommended Food for the Poor as a delivery partner; several commissioners urged using local charities such as Dare to Care because local organizations can reach harder-hit, inland communities.
