RRT Volcano Relief
The St. Vincent community is in crisis as ash from the La Soufriere Volcano eruption forces more than 5,000 people to vacate their homes. RRT volunteers in the Caribbean are on the ground supplying emergency food supplies and water through the RRT Food Box initiative.
RRT has banded together to donate emergency RRT Food Boxes to government evacuation centers across St. Vincent as more than 5,000 residents are displaced by the La Soufriere eruption.
RRT has been working with the National Emergency Management Office (NEMO) to distribute emergency food supplies through their Food Box initiative and water as these items are in desperate need.
RRT Food Boxes contain a variety of non-perishable, long-life food that can feed a family of four for up to 48 hours.
Thousands of evacuees are in need of immediate humanitarian support, and Mark DeCasseres, General Manager for RRT in the Caribbean said “The volcanic ash means the basic items are what is needed most right now. Shelter, food, water, and hygiene products.”
RRT is made up of locals so we understand the devastating impact the eruption is causing and the uncertainty we face ahead. We are only happy we can help in a small way and together, as a community, get through this.
