Zero drop-offs today for the Venezuela donation drive. Please help if you can! (Winter Park)
Hey r/orlando,
My wife’s office in Winter Park is acting as a drop-off spot for earthquake relief in Venezuela (Operación Todos Con Venezuela). I’m making this post because she told me that zero people showed up to donate today, which is a real bummer. Thousands of families have literally lost everything overnight, and they desperately need our help.
I don't work there and get nothing out of this, I just really want to help get the word out to our community.
They are running the drive today, tomorrow, and Thursday from 10 AM to 3 PM. All you have to do is drop the items off—her team is handling all the boxing and shipping.
What they need the most right now:
- Baby stuff (diapers, formula, wipes)
- Canned & shelf-stable food
- Basic meds & first aid supplies
- Hygiene products
They are also taking blankets, clothes, and gear for the rescue workers on the ground (N95 masks, work gloves, power banks, bug spray, electrolytes, etc.). I attached the flyers with the full details.
Drop-off Location (10am - 3pm until Thursday):
PS Insurance
5425 Lake Howell Rd #32792
Winter Park, FL 32792
Even dropping off a couple of cans of food or a single pack of wipes means a lot. If you can't donate right now, just upvoting this for visibility would be awesome.
Thanks guys. ❤️
EDIT - CAN'T MAKE THE DRIVE?
A user just reached out and had the amazing idea to send a delivery order (Instacart, Walmart, Amazon, etc.) directly to the office! If you want to help but are stuck at work or too far away, this is a fantastic option.
If you choose to do this, please keep in mind:
Strictly non-perishable items only (canned goods, dry rice, beans, baby formula, wipes, etc.). They cannot store refrigerated items.
Staff can receive deliveries anytime between 9:30 AM and 5:30 PM (Today, Wednesday, and Thursday).
Thank you all so much for the support! ❤️
