Donate by Friday 4/22 to help Ecuador Earthquake Victims

Saturday night Ecuador suffered a devastating earthquake of a 7.8-magnitude. The earthquake hit Ecuador’s northwestern coast. Many cities along the coast where almost wipe out by the earthquake.

http://edition.cnn.com/2016/04/18/americas/ecuador-earthquake/index.html

Ecuador is home to several ABE alumni, faculty and students. Thankfully their family and friends are OK; however, thousands of people have lost everything. Thousands are wounded and hundreds people are dead. Sadly this number is going to increase drastically as the days go by especially in the smaller towns along the coast.

Cesar Moreira (also from Ecuador) and former ABE PhD student is visiting Gainesville until Friday. He is going to deliver some contribution to the embassy of Ecuador in Miami. Therefore, I am asking for your help. Please if you have any old clothes, shoes, nonperishable food, batteries, candles, first aid kits.

A collection center will be located in the break room downstairs

If you have any question, please feel free to contact me or contact Cesar Moreira - cmoreirav@gmail.com

Donate items if you're moving out!

Join Sustainable UF Friday, April 22 for Collection Day from 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the O’Connell Center Parking Lot. This event makes it easy and convenient to get rid of unwanted household items, clothing, hazardous waste, old electronics, furniture, appliances, and non-perishable food. Usable items will be donated for use in the community, and damaged goods, hazardous waste, and electronic equipment will be recycled or disposed of safely by our partnering organization.
