Colombia Earthquake Aid Efforts | Los Angeles News

A devastating 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck Colombia on August 10, killing over 280 people and causing widespread destruction near San José del Palmar. In response, the Archdiocese of Los Angeles is rallying support with special donation drives at parishes and schools across LA, Ventura, and Santa Barbara counties over two weekends in August. Funds will go directly to Catholic Relief Services, already on the ground delivering aid. You can donate online at crs.org, call 877-435-7277, or mail contributions to their Tipton, Iowa address. Earlier this week, a solidarity Mass was held at St. Matthias Church in Huntington Park to unite the community in prayer and support for those affected.
