‘The heart behind the effort’
Pocket Rocket Foundation continues Easter treat tradition in Waterhouse and Waterloo
AS part of the celebration and recognition of Easter. the Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce-led Pocket Rocket Foundation on Sunday distributed more than 400 packages of the traditional Jamaican bun and cheese across the Waterhouse community in St Andrew and Waterloo in Ewarton, St Catherine.
The Pocket Rocket team gave out some 300 packages in Waterhouse, Fraser-Pryce’s childhood home, and another 100 packages in Waterloo.
Volunteers from the two communities supported the initiative, helping to package and distribute the Easter gifts.
Reflecting on the day, Fraser-Pryce emphasised the heart behind the effort,
“The annual Easter treat is part of the foundation’s effort to continue its support for families across these communities. Easter is all about family, togetherness, and celebrating long-standing traditions that make the season special,” said Fraser-Pryce.
Local community leader Joan Pryce of Waterloo shared her gratitude:
“It means the world to us,” said Pryce. “The Pocket Rocket Foundation always shows up for our communities, and being remembered during Easter reminds us that we are valued and loved,” added Pryce.
The Easter outreach is part of the Pocket Rocket Foundation’s commitment to supporting families and building stronger communities through consistent, meaningful initiatives.
