Hurricane Maria: Coast Guard delivers supplies to Puerto Rico

PUERTO RICO — Much-needed food and supplies were delivered Thursday to Puerto Rico, the Coast Guard announced Friday.

Crews flew toward Las Marias, Puerto Rico, in a helicopter to deliver the supplies to the people affected by Hurricane Maria.

Air Station Borinquen has been helping people stranded by mudslides and washed-out roads.

Much of the island is still without power, and food is still limited for the Puerto Ricans. However, a massive relief effort is underway to stock up on supplies.

Join Florida Hospital, WFTV-Channel 9 and 107.3 Solo Exitos for a community wide Blessings for Puerto Rico donation relief drive on Sunday, October 8, at Calvary Orlando Church.

From 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m., the community can drop off items at the parking lot of Calvary Orlando Church, located 1199 Clay Street, Winter Park.
