Ação da Cidadania, a Brazilian NGO, has opened a donation collection point in its warehouse located in the Port Zone of Rio de Janeiro to assist victims affected by severe floods in the Zona da Mata region of Minas Gerais. This disaster has resulted in over 50 fatalities and left hundreds of families displaced. The collection facilities are set to receive non-perishable food items, bottled water, personal hygiene products, and cleaning supplies, with specific collection hours outlined for community convenience.

In response to the humanitarian crisis, Ação da Cidadania is also actively coordinating with local committees to ensure the delivery of essential supplies. They are sending 20 tons of donations to Juiz de Fora and surrounding areas affected by the ongoing floods. The organization has emphasized their commitment to expanding their humanitarian efforts, especially as this region continues to suffer adverse weather conditions, leading to increased flooding and need for assistance since the start of the year.

Financial donations are also being accepted through their website, providing an additional avenue for individuals and businesses to contribute to the relief efforts. As the situation evolves, the NGO is working diligently to meet the urgent needs of those affected by the floods, highlighting the critical role of community solidarity during times of crisis.
