The Canton Police Department announces its commitment to supporting the hurricane relief efforts to those affected by the recent hurricanes in Central America. CPD has partnered with United Pentecostal Church to provide disaster victims with needed goods during the long rebuilding and recovery process after the devastation caused by the hurricanes.
Just two weeks after Hurricane Eta brought widespread flooding and forced hundreds of thousands of people from their homes, Central America was battered by a second hurricane, leaving a level of destruction in its wake that rivals the worst natural disasters in the region’s history. The extraordinary double blow comes on top of the COVID-19 pandemic, which had already depleted resources and left many people unemployed in one of the poorest areas in Latin America.
The Canton Police Department will be conducting a hurricane relief drive that will take place this weekend. The supplies will be driven to Miami by members of the CPD, where they will be shipped to parts of Honduras and Nicaragua. They are asking for nonperishable foods, blankets, sheets, pillows, and toiletries.
The event will occur at the Canton Police Department (151 Elizabeth Street, Canton, GA) Saturday, November 21, 2020, from 9 AM to 6 PM and Sunday, November 22, 2020, from noon till 6 PM.
