Richie Stephens, Richie Poo & DJ Smurf Bring Food, Hope, and Vibes to Water Works, Westmoreland

Today, a powerful wave of compassion rolled into Water Works in Westmoreland as singer Richie Stephens, iconic selector Richie Poo, and DJ Smurf of Roadblock Radio and Irie FM led a grassroots relief mission straight to the communities impacted by dutty gal Hurricane Melissa.

With a truckload of food, supplies, and a team of 12 dedicated volunteers, the crew set out with one mission in mind: feed the people, lift their spirits, and let them know they are not forgotten.

Feeding the Community, One Hot Meal at a Time

The team didn’t come empty-handed. They arrived ready to serve hot meals, bring comfort, and offer a moment of joy to those who have been weathering the emotional and physical aftermath of the storm. For many residents, these meals are more than food—they’re a reminder that the Jamaican spirit remains unbreakable.

As pots bubbled and plates filled, Richie Stephens and the crew held a vibe with locals, sharing conversations, laughter, and encouragement. The atmosphere was a mix of gratitude, fellowship, and the undeniable essence of community strength.

A Message of Hope From Jamaica Strong

In addition to hands-on support, Richie Stephens brought a message of reassurance: more help is on the way.

He shared that organizers of the upcoming Jamaica Strong Benefit Concert, happening December 12, 2025 at UBS Arena in New York, are gearing up to deliver even more relief and resources to communities like Water Works. The concert—powered by major artists, humanitarian partners, and supporters worldwide—promises to raise significant funds and awareness for Jamaica’s recovery from Hurricane Melissa.

The visit today serves as a living example of what “Jamaica Strong” truly means: unity, action, and love in motion.

Community First, Always

As the volunteers packed up for the day, one thing was clear—this wasn’t a one-time gesture. Richie Stephens, Richie Poo, DJ Smurf, and the Roadblock Radio/Irie FM family are committed to standing with the people of Westmoreland and beyond as recovery continues.

The road ahead is long, but with efforts like these, hope is never far behind.

Jamaica Strong today, tomorrow, and forever.
