Following a deadly earthquake that struck the north African country of Morocco, the City of Houston is partnering with several organizations to hold a donation drive.
The first day of the drive was Saturday, Sept. 16, but the drive continues Sunday, Sept. 17, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
“Our hearts go out to the people of Morocco. As Houstonians, we understand the importance of solidarity during difficult times, and we are here to offer support and resources.” said Mayor Turner. The donation drive aims to collect essential items that will be of immense help to those grappling with the aftermath of the earthquake. The needed items include tents, blankets, thermos bottles, hygiene kits, socks, shoes, first aid kits and flashlights.1. Arab American Cultural and Community Center
