Puerto Rico relief
Earlier this month, our CEO Sal Lupoli donated a tractor trailer full of supplies to hurricane-torn Puerto Rico. The donation included 24 pallets of diapers, bottled water and other supplies.
“My family and I are so blessed to have more than we could ever need,” said Lupoli, “Hopefully this donation will make a difference for the many families in Puerto Rico who are struggling.”
The donation was dropped off to a local group of Puerto Ricans, known as Borinquenos Unidos, on Canal Street in Lawrence. The plan is to collaborate with Puerto Rico's local fire departments to determine where their efforts could be most successful. Juan “Manny” Gonzalez, a Lawrence firefighter and Puerto Rican native, said they expect to ship two containers full of donations in the near future.
The group is still sourcing the funding for shipping the containers and are accepting monetary donations for the shipping costs. Checks made out to “Borinquenos Unidos” can be dropped off at any DCU credit union branch, at fire department headquarters at 60 Lowell St. and at firehouses throughout the city of Lawrence.
