Send aid to Puerto Rico
Urgent humanitarian aid is needed in Puerto Rico. A coalition of individuals and groups in Minnesota have banded together to send relief efforts: Coalition de Boricuas en Minnesota.
A drive is underway to fill a plane with supplies that will leave Wednesday morning from MSP.
