UPDATED ON 9.27.22, PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!   

We are really excited to announce that el Circulo de Puerto Rico, Inc. (CPRI) will be at House 6 Brewery Co. for our #DMV4PR fundraiser and Domino Tournament.   

While we had originally intended to have a food drive to support those in need in the Washington, D.C. area and those who visit El Comedor de la Kennedy, in Puerto Rico, Fiona happened. We have redirected our efforts to support and help Puerto Rico after the devastation left by hurricane Fiona.  

CPRI has joined forces with Bags of Love, Inc. (BOL), a non-profit organization very active in the DMV that was crucial collecting and sending supplies to Puerto Rico during Hurricane Maria. BOL made sure that the help and supplies collected were sent into the right hands in Puerto Rico, for which we are very grateful!   

CPRI, Bags of Love for Puerto Rico, community advocates, and volunteers from the DMV have joined efforts to raise funds to support families in Puerto Rico and need our help through our #DMV4PR, Diáspora Mejorando Vidas en Puerto Rico project.   One of our priorities is to provide drinking water and expand a kitchen established in an abandoned school in Adjuntas by el Consejo Comunitario de la Altura (CCA), which is currently serving one hot meal a day to those in need.  We are also working on finding ways to assist families in need of clean and fresh clothes.

Consejo Comunitario de la Altura (CCA), serves several barrios and about 250 families in north Ponce and south Adjuntas. Formed in the aftermath of Maria and run solely by volunteers, the organization has made significant contributions to the health and well-being of our community. As part of VAMOS PR, they belong to a network of grassroots organizations working to help our communities and each other. This appeal is specifically on behalf of a few, small organizations which, like CCA, operate in very isolated and impoverished areas of the central mountain region, the hardest hit by Maria and the least assisted by the government.
