DONATE NOW - HURRICANE RELIEF!

 
 
Rotary District 7910 (Central Massachusetts), Liberty NY Rotary Club,  Rotary District 7210 (NY Catskills/Hudson Valley), and Rotary District 7000 (Puerto Rico), in partnership with OPERATION ENDEAVOR and Wings Of Michael, are raising funds for victims of Hurricane Maria.
 
The relief drive, which launched recently, is targeting Moca, Puerto Rico, a municipality in the northwest corner of the island and one of the areas hit hardest by Hurricane Maria in September 2017.  Wings Of Michael (Special Airborne Rescue) and OPERATION ENDEAVOR worked together to conduct a reconnaissance mission to identify centers of gravity and a needs assessment.

 
As a result of that assessment, the drive will focus on four areas of support:
1. Vaccination Clinics for Hurricane Victims
2. Emergency Shelter Support and Construction
3. Food, Clean Water and Home Needs Support
4. Moca Rotary Toy Drive
 
Vaccination Clinic for Hurricane Victims – Funds raised will be used to procure vaccines for a series of vaccination clinics for at least 1000 victims of Hurricane Maria. The clinics will be administered by Dr. Lemuel Soto, MD and will be conducted in the regional churches as epicenters of the community by Operation Endeavor and WOMSAR Emergency Medicine Professionals. The clinic will include Flu, Tetanus and possibly Diphtheria Vaccinations.
 
Members of the Liberty NY Rotary Club, Operation Endeavor, Wings of Michael and Rotary District 7910 will be traveling to Moca for a relief mission on February 2-5 where they will be participating in relief effort activities coordinated by contacts at the Moca Rotary Club, the Mayor of Moca, and Nuestra Senora de la Monserrate Catholic Parish. Activities will include aiding in flu, tetanus and possibly diphtheria vaccination clinics, emergency shelter construction, food, clean water and home supply distribution, and toy distribution to children who sustained total losses during the hurricane.
 
Only monetary donations are being accepted due to the logistical difficulties of transporting supplies from the Continental United States to Puerto Rico. One hundred percent of the funds raised through the Rotary’s relief drive will be donated to the Moca Rotary Club (MRC) to purchase and distribute supplies to those families in need. MRC officials will be supplying the Liberty, N.Y. Rotary Club with monthly reports of how the funds have been spent, including receipts and photos. All funds will be supporting the hurricane relief victims and their families in Moca, Puerto Rico.
