The People of Puerto Rico
Donation protected
Unidos por Puerto Rico DMV in Chantilly, Virginia would like to take a moment to send our love,
prayers and condolences to the 3.5 million families, friends and fellow Boricuas in the island.
Our hearts and thoughts are with you every day!
We would also like to sincerely thank all of the donors, volunteers and staff who have made this
mission possible. With the support of many communities across DC, Maryland, Virginia and
even beyond, we have sent to date over 500,000 pounds of aid in 23 shipments! Direct recipients
have included police, departments of health, hospitals and some of the hardest hit towns.
Altogether, we have completed over 500 pallets of much needed items, all destined for Puerto
Rico!
Families, individuals, churches, police departments, businesses and other collection events
have poured through our doors with donations and to lend a hand….donations have to be
divided, prepared, boxed, weighed, moved to pallets, be accounted for, wrapped, and trucks are
needed to move the pallets to their destinations. This means we not only need the donations
and the volunteers, but we also need monetary donations to keep the operation in motion!
Realistically, ensuring that donations make it to responsible contacts in a timely manner in the
island is a costly undertaking. The money you donate to Unidos por Puerto Rico DMV will be
used to support the mission- renting trucks, warehouse space, lots and lots of packing
materials…..getting the pallets on ships and planes, confirming arrival and receipt….. The great
news is that as a newly designated 501-c3 non-profit organization, monetary donations are now
tax-deductible!
Community response has been incredible and the staff and volunteers of Unidos por Puerto
Rico DMV are committed to continue this effort until the help is no longer needed, but we also
do need your contributions to make this goal a reality! Please consider donating and please
share this message with your friends and family!
