Donate Supplies to Earthquake Victims in Puerto Rico
Families in Puerto Rico are still suffering after a series of earthquakes in Puerto Rico, thousands of whom are camping outside of their homes. Their businesses are in ruins and their children unable to go back to school due to unsafe buildings.
If you would like to send supplies or organize a donation drive at your company, school or organization, below you will find a list of requested item still very much needed on the island.
If you live on the island or are coming here on vacation, it is recommended to organize a day to deliver the supplies – it is a lovely drive from San Juan to the South of the island and people really enjoy visits from those who want to help and sharing their stories.
If you would rather lend direct support via a monetary donation, see our list of organizations on the ground doing work, distributing supplies and helping rebuild.
THANK YOU!!
