Puerto Rico donation drive week 2, Bloomingdale Farmers Market. Sunday October 8th. 

More than two weeks after Hurricane Maria stroke Puerto Rico, the situation on the island is still catastrophic and in many areas getting worse. 

      

Many towns remain isolated while even large cities are still out of power or water. 

Last week donation drive was a real success. The supply gathered is being shipped today via a private plan to a military airport in San Juan (PR). From there goods will be distributed throughout the island. 

Our information on the ground shows that canned food, baby food, water and batteries and solar lamps are along with personal hygiene products the most needed supply items.

We are organizing another donation drive this Sunday (10/08/17) at the Bloomingdale Farmers Market (1st street and Florida Ave NW) from 9 am to 1:30 pm.

Thank you again for your generosity. 

We hope to see you at the Market tomorrow.    

Best 

Marta and Jean-Christophe.
