Following the awful scenes of devastation caused by Hurricane Melissa across Jamaica, The Rotary Club of Minehead took to the streets to collect funds to help those affected.
A total of £339 was donated, and the club would like to thank all those who gave.
The money will be used to send a Shelter Box to Jamaica.
Each shelter box contains a 10 person tent, cooking utensils, water purifying systems, torches, first aid kits and much more.
Rotary Clubs from all over the country will be sending similar aid to help those in need.
