GoFundMe Success Staff support pours in for hurricane relief fund

Tropical storm Eta and Hurricane Iota wreaked havoc across Central America in November. In response, Creative’s staff raised $3,638.00 through a GoFundMe campaign, which the Kruvant family generously matched.

Creative and its sister nonprofit Creative Learning were able to donate more than $6,000 of food, hygiene products and other household supplies for two Honduran organizations, FUNADEH and COHONDUCAFE.

COHONDUCAFE delivered 2,000 bags of food to families whose coffee farms were devastated in the storms. FUNADEH focused its relief on 22 Outreach Centers, bringing aid to their coordinators and volunteers that serve the communities. n
