aid-delivery-guerreroMore than 4 tons of food and clothing have been raised by the DIF system of Puerto Vallarta for the flood victims in the state of Guerrero, after 15 days of an intensive collection campaign in shopping centers, supermarkets and in their own facilities in the former Regional hospital, said Miguel Soto, deputy Director of the Social Programs of DIF Vallarta.

The official of the assistance institution said that the collection was made from Wednesday September 18 to Tuesday October 1 with the joint participation of hundreds of people who contributed a lot of nonperishable food, toiletries, water bottles and in a second stage even clothing.

"The participation of Vallartans has been very satisfying, they immediately asked where they could collaborate with the victims of Guerrero, it is estimated that there are many families from Guerrero in this region, so immediately there was a very strong desire to support given the magnitude of what is happening in that state. "

The aid reception points for the victims of Guerrero, the official said, were operated by more than 30 volunteers of the Vallarta DIF system "but ultimately all of the employees of the institution were involved in the receipt, classification, storage and distribution".

THE TRANSFER OF PROVISIONS
About the transfer of aid, Miguel Soto said that by working with the Food Bank of Puerto Vallarta a truck will be provided to be loaded and it will leave on Thursday October 3 from this city towards the port of Acapulco, Guerrero.

"We have already made the commitment to both the Food Bank of the city as well as to the DIF system of Acapulco for the aid to be delivered directly by us, so we can expect the vehicle to leave next Thursday and get there by Friday in a way that before the weekend the Vallartan aid is already in the hands of those who most need it".

He thanked in the name of the DIF system and its President Magaly Fregoso all the Vallartans and people in general who wanted and could help with this cause, for it was a collective effort that was made in several parts of the city, including schools that mobilized for this noble cause of helping those who need our support.

"Thank you all for participating, this way Puerto Vallarta is not far behind in social solidarity in this type of disaster affecting other Mexicans. Thanks a lot".
