From November 18 to 23, people will be able to bring non-perishable food, hygiene and cleaning products to the seven Chevrolet branches throughout the country. These products will be delivered to the Asociación Obras del Espíritu Santo for distribution in the areas impacted by the floods.
Costa Rica. Chevrolet Grupo Q joins the food collection campaign that the Obras del Espíritu Santo Association carries out to help communities affected by the heavy rains and floods that have hit the national territory in recent days.
Therefore, from November 18 to 23, the seven Chevrolet branches will become collection centers for non-perishable food and cleaning and personal hygiene products. People can bring their donation any time the branches remain open.
All food and products collected will be delivered to the Works of the Holy Spirit Association for distribution among the people who have been hardest hit by these natural disasters.
“At Chevrolet, we are aware that, in times of crisis like the recent floods, solidarity and social support are essential for the recovery of affected communities. Helping those affected fosters solidarity and community spirit, and inspires others to join the cause. By working together, we can contribute to the reconstruction and improve the quality of life of those who have faced adversity,” explained Asly Anchía, regional marketing manager of Chevrolet Group Q.
In addition to enabling its headquarters as a collection center, Chevrolet Grupo Q will provide the transportation of donations to the headquarters of Obras del Espíritu Santo, in Cristo Rey, San José, where they will assemble the newspapers that will later be distributed by volunteers from said association in coordination with the National Emergency Commission (CNE).
“I thank Chevrolet Grupo Q for joining our food collection campaign. I invite all Costa Ricans to join in solidarity and provide their support to the people affected by the recent floods,” said the Rev. Sergio Valverde Espinoza, president and director of the Works of the Holy Spirit Association.
