WATERFORD TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WXYZ) — A Waterford Township-based nonprofit is mobilizing to help Hurricane Melissa victims in Jamaica.

Disaster Relief at Work, known as DRAW, is preparing to send 700 buckets filled with cleaning supplies to Jamaica in the coming days. The organization typically responds to natural disasters across the United States, but Hurricane Melissa will mark the second time it's helped internationally.

"We had the ability to help, we had the connections to help, we wanted to help, so there wasn't really anything holding us back from helping people after the storm passed," said Greg Martin, executive director of DRAW.

313 Presents sent more than 50 volunteers to DRAW's warehouse to help pack nearly 400 buckets. The buckets will all be sent to Jamaica.
