The Weeknd Donates $350K To Hurricane Relief For Affected Jamaican Families

The Weeknd is helping Jamaicans impacted by Hurricane Melissa donatin $350,000 from his XO Humanitarian Fund to support the World Food Programme's emergency response in Jamaica. Hurricane Melissa slammed the Caribbean island last month as a Category 5 storm, dubbed "The Storm of the Century." Melissa pushed winds up to 185 MPH and officials declared all of Jamaica a disaster area due to catastrophic damage. The Weeknd's donation will help get food kits into the hands of up to 200,000 Jamaicans. The food kits include rice, lentils, canned fish and meat, plus vegetable oil. Sean Paul and Maxi Priest are among the other celebs making Hurricane Melissa relief donations in Jamaica too.
