ST7's Operation Hope for Puerto Rico: Please Help!

Hurricane Maria has left Puerto Rico, the beloved homeland of our director, administrator, and coaching staff in a state of devastation. The infrastructure of the island is destroyed and the road to recover will take months and possibly years. Hurricane Maria may have taken their power, their roads, and many of their homes, yet it has not touched the strength and beauty of the people of Puerto Rico. They are a people strong in their culture and pride for their island. They will recover but only with our help. Please join ST7 Volleyball's Operation Hope for Puerto Rico as we collect those items that the people of Puerto Rico need now.

All items collected will be shipped in small boxes through the USPS to the central towns of Puerto Rico. These are towns that are further away from San Juan and are having the most difficulty receiving aid. By shipping in small boxes to towns where USPS is able to deliver we will be able to lower the cost of shipping and make the most immediate and direct impact on the people who need it most.

We will be collecting items and cash donations to cover the cost of shipping at Faith Lutheran during all practices, clinics, and lessons, starting at our next practice. We will also have a donation box at the ST7 Spooktacular Mini Club Tournament on October 14th at The Big House.
