We continue to provide critical humanitarian aid to Puerto Rico in the wake of Hurricane Maria. We are currently providing building materials and hiring skilled labor to rebuild homes in the community of Villa Esperanza outside San Juan.
In the months immediately following the storm, we procured and delivered more than 2,000 large, heavy duty tarps to provide temporary shelter and protect families from the hot sun and frequent rain storms. In addition, we distributed $83,000 in infant formula and 2,100 disaster health kits to families in need. We also sent two 20' shipping container of canned food, one 40' shipping container of canned meats and fish, 190,000 cans of vegetables, tomato sauce, and sausage, and three 40' shipping containers of drinking water.
Hurricane Maria made landfall in Puerto Rico as a category 4 storm in late September 2017 and caused unprecedented damage to the island.
