Operation Puerto Rico Care-Lift is a hurricane relief effort that works to bring much-needed supplies to the most devastated regions of Puerto Rico. The organization works in partnership with South Florida's own Spirit Airlines and Lufthansa Technik.
The effort has delivered 50,000 pounds of supplies, raised $175K in cash and donations and evacuated some 500 people from the island during six, free-of-charge flights.
Operation Puerto Rico Care-Lift says there is still much left to do. They have created a GoFundMe page to raise money for their efforts. For more information, click here.
