GivingTuesday goal: $10,000 for water filters for Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands

Hurricanes Irma and Maria wiped out water treatment systems in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, leaving people without clean drinking water. According to the Department of Defense, 55% of Puerto Rico was left without clean drinking water. Your help is needed. This GivingTuesday, the United Church of Christ is coming together to make a difference. We’ve set a goal of $10,000 to provide 500 water filters to people living in the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. Read more/give at ucc.org/givewater.
