Toyota Jamaica In The Community

In 2013 Toyota Jamaica partnered with the Montego Bay Animal Haven (MBAH), in their efforts to feed, care and protect stray animals, by providing them with a Toyota RAV-4. It was our pleasure to give MBAH “RAV4 PAWS” which has been a tremendous help for them on their mission.

Toyota Jamaica is a proud partner of the Montego Bay Animal Haven and salutes them for their hard work as they continue to make our communities better, one rescue at a time.

We treat Short boss and Big Boss with the same respect.
Together We Can Care, Be Kind To All.
Proud Partners of The Montego Bay Animal Haven

The Joy & Freedom of Movement!
We ALL have something to give,
This Christmas share YOUR gift with others.
Merry Christmas from Toyota Jamaica and The Step Centre!

You know it's Christmas when you hear the first carol
But, what would Christmas be like with no sound?
A silent night….
We all cant’ hear you, but with a little effort,
We can all communicate and share the love and joy of the holiday season.
Merry Christmas from Toyota Jamaica and DeafCan Coffee

In an effort to show our gratitude to our frontline workers, Toyota Jamaica decided on a small but meaningful gesture to show our appreciation for all the hard work they have been doing and continue to do during this pandemic.
Toyota Jamaica partnered with Grace Foods, Yummy Bakery, and Pure Country juices to provide care packages to our frontline workers at UWI Hospital and Kingston Public Hospital.
These packages were then delivered by our brand ambassadors Terri— Karelle and the MTM family (Tami & Wayne) who continue to support our community initiatives.

The out pouring support and love that was given to the Preemie Foundation, Toyota Jamaica had no other choice than to give an Oxygen Concentrator Machine on behalf of the MTM family 1st cousins to a much needed foundation.
The Preemie Foundation is on a drive to obtain 20 (portable) Oxygen Concentrator Machines, in hopes of getting at least two machines to every hospital islandwide, to give our premature babies a fighting chance at birth.

Independence Day, what does that mean to you? FREEDOM!
For Superior Craft and More (a subsidiary of the Jamaica Society for the Blind), it is FREEDOM to earn a living.
It's a pleasure to partner with Toyota Jamaica's Brand Ambassador Terri—Karelle as we continue to improve the lives of those within our communities.
Happy Independence Day Jamaica!

Deaf Can! isn't just coffee. It's our Craft!
Def Can! not only brew coffee but they plant, pick, roast, and market their coffee. Over the years they have provided job opportunities for those within their community as baristas, in pastry making as well as the administration side of every business.
Deaf Can Coffee and the partnership with Toyota Coffee House has grown over the years. They have taught us how to communicate with them and we have helped them with their business.

Covid—19 pandemic has been hard for everyone. Our doctors and frontline workers are amazing. Toyota jamaica got together with Terri—Karelle to show some love and sprinkle a little kindness to the doctors at Kingston Public Hospital (KPH). Toyota Jamaica provided lunch packages with personalized messages to our doctors.
We don't have to be rich or famous to cause positive change, we just have to care enough and work together.

Toyota Jamaica was able to jump on board and help the Ministry of Health Wellness with transportation for Nurses at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Toyota Jamaica is pleased to lend the Ministry of Health two (2) additional Hiace Buses to assist with the transportation of our nurses during this pandemic. The Ministry of Health and Wellness (MOHW) has already acquired five (5) Toyota buses in their fleet which will be used to transport our nurses.

Toyota Jamaica Limited was able to create a fully functional bathroom with a shower for the members of Superior Craft and More (SCM) who are partially or completely blind.
It was an honour for us to be able to assist the SCM family who has been our partners for several years. We have always admired their work and resilience to fight against all odds and wanted to make them as comfortable be as possible, while they work to provide for themselves and their families.
SCM is located on the same property as Jamaica Society for the Blind and provide job opportunity to those within their community.

Dr. Tshani Buchanan Anderson, Pediatrician, at the Bustamante Hospital for Children (BHC) reached out to Toyota Jamaica for assistance. In an effort to reduce the emotional stress for the children during the COVID 19 pandemic, who are not only away from school but home as well, BHC requested a television for the children at Ward 4.
They asked and Toyota Jamaica delivered. We salute all our doctors and nurses who are not only at the frontline helping those affected by this virus but also those who are providing for other persons in our healthcare system such as our children. THANK YOU.
Special thanks to Dr. Tshani Buchanan Anderson, Consultant Dr. Natalie McNeil and all the doctors and nurses at BHC Ward 4.

The Toyota Dream Car Art Contest is a competition held to encourage and inspire creativity in children. The competition showcases the dreams of youth from around the world because Toyota believes in sharing the imagination and ideas of children.
Toyota Global invites young children up to 15 years old who are enrolled in school from around the world to share ideas about the future of mobility by drawing their dream car. National contests are held in each country and then those winners are submitted to the Global Contest.
Entries are submitted in 3 age categories - Under 8 years, 8 – 11 years, and 12 – 15 years old. Nine winners are then selected in the national (local) contest, 3 from each age category. The winning artworks are then sent to Japan for entry in the Global competition.
This was Toyota Jamaica’s 1 st staging of the DCAC and we received almost 70 entries. Overall winners came from Stella Maris, Queens Prep, Reach Academy & Munro College.
