DONATIONS FOR PUERTO RICO are now being accepted in fellowship hall. There is a box designated for Puerto Rico donations. Puerto Rico has suffered major damages due to Hurricane Irma and mainly Hurricane Maria. They are in desperate need of help when it comes to food and water and basic essentials that they need to survive. More than half of the island still has no power and telecommunications service. Kiara Colon, one of our choir students, is heading this donation drive. She is asking for the following items to be donated: water, canned goods, dog food, baby and adult diapers, baby food, hygiene products, flashlights, batteries, generators, blankets.
Monetary donations are not being taken. If you want to give money you may do so through: unidosporpuertorico.com
