The Town will bring all collected items to InterVol, a not-for-profit humanitarian relief organization working in conjunction with Rochester Regional Health, UR Medicine and the Rochester community to ship medical supplies and personal care items to Puerto Rico this October. 

Millions of people are without food, clean water and electricity in Puerto Rico and the islands nearby - our help is needed!  Please donate if you can.  For more information about InterVol and its humanitarian efforts, visit their website at www.intervol.org.
