MIDDLETOWN – It is an effort being repeated around the region and nation as family members and area residents come together to collect relief supplies for hurricane-torn Puerto Rico.
At the American Legion Post 151 in Middletown over the weekend, people came together with supplies ranging from bottled water to toiletries, clothing and cash.
Middletown fireman Joel Sierra, who has family in Puerto Rico, organized the event. Like so many others on the mainland, he has been unable to contact relatives because power and communications remain out.
“This is one of the biggest humanitarian efforts in years,”
Sierra said. “We’ve been filling trucks all weekend.”
Relief efforts are continuing all week and items may be dropped off at
the American Legion Post 151. Sierra may be reached at 845-591-6448.

People of all ages got involved in the relief effort
