Charlotte Sends Aid to Earthquake-Ravaged Colombia | Greenville News

A devastating earthquake in Colombia has sparked an extraordinary outpouring of support from Charlotte’s Colombian-American community. Over 230 volunteers, many with personal ties to the affected regions, are packing more than 60 pallets filled with urgently needed supplies like first aid kits and non-perishable food — not clothing or water. The Colombian-American Chamber of Commerce is coordinating this massive relief effort, sending each shipment with a simple, powerful message: “We love you, from Charlotte.” With 20,000 Colombians calling Charlotte home, this response embodies the strength and solidarity of a community standing shoulder-to-shoulder with its homeland.
