Four drop-off locations in Doral were receiving donations on Thursday after 7.2- and 7.5-magnitude earthquakes hit northern Venezuela on Wednesday.
Mayor Christi Fraga announced the city, often referred to as Doralzuela, had partnered with the local Global Empowerment Mission, a nonprofit founded in response to the 2010 earthquake in Haiti.
The list of items needed included first aid kits; emergency gear such as flashlights, heavy-duty batteries, solar phone chargers, and work gloves; and baby care, such as diapers.
Here is the list of drop-off locations in Doral:
- GEM headquarters was open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday to Friday, at 1850 NW 84th Ave.
- Miami-Dade County Supervisor of Elections Office Lobby was open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., from Monday to Friday, at 2700 NW 87th Ave.
