Albuquerque’s Latino community stepped up to help Venezuelan earthquake victims by conducting a weekend-long donation drive at Casa Blanca Market on Montgomery Boulevard Northeast.
Community Comes Together
Recent earthquakes in Caracas, Venezuela have killed at least 1,400 people and injured more than 3,200. The Albuquerque community, including Venezuelan natives, decided to lend a hand. Nearly 200 plastic containers of supplies, ranging from canned foods to hygiene products, have been collected.
Those items will be shipped to Florida, then to the Global Empowerment Organization. In about four to six weeks, the items will arrive in Caracas for distribution to residents in need.
