On June 24, 2026, two massive earthquakes struck northern Venezuela within seconds of each other. The quakes, measuring magnitudes 7.2 and 7.5, devastated La Guaira, Caracas, and the surrounding communities. Buildings collapsed. Roads and hillsides gave way. More than 2,000 people have died, and the toll is still climbing.
At No Child Hungry, our response begins with hundreds of thousands of meals in the coming days. More will likely be needed in the months ahead, as the recovery will be long. We'll also be sending hygiene kits and Stop Hunger Bags, as both are powerful resources in crisis.
The need in Venezuela is immense. The need will be present for many months to come, but with your help, we'll be right there. We need an army of caring people, just like you, to join this effort. No contribution is too large, and none is too small. All make a BIG difference.
There are multiple ways to get involved. First, we need your support to keep the meals moving. Donations to help with meals, supplies, and shipping are much needed. Second, we'll need to send even more meals, so you can fund as many as you'd like — and they're only 43.5¢ each for this effort, thanks to amazing supporters and suppliers! And finally, you can volunteer. Our warehouse in Apopka, Florida, is sure to be busy in the coming days and weeks, so helping hands are needed and appreciated.

Wave One: Basics
Our initial response will include providing 200,000 meals, along with hygiene kits and Stop Hunger Bags. Each addresses a critical need for kids and families displaced by the earthquakes.
