The society of Lanzarote has successfully gathered nearly 30 tons of essential supplies destined for those affected by the earthquakes recorded in Venezuela last June.

The material, currently stored at the Teguise Agro-industrial Complex, includes a wide range of basic necessities. Collected items include non-perishable food, medicines, hygiene products, clothing, and medical supplies, with a special focus on the needs of affected children.
This solidarity campaign was promoted by the Cabildo of Lanzarote and La Graciosa in close collaboration with the Venezolanos Unidos Sociocultural and Sports Association and the Canarian-Venezuelan Union Association. These entities were responsible for managing the collection, sorting, and organization of all donations received.

"Lanzarote once again demonstrates its enormous capacity for solidarity in the face of an emergency situation."
