United Common Ground is planning a silent auction benefit for Puerto Rico and Mexico. We have a date set on Oct 20 from 4-7 at Madison College. This event is open to the public.
We are looking to partner with other groups to find donations for the auction and where the donations are going to.
Puerto Rico has been hit by two powerful hurricanes that has left the entire island without water and electricity. Mexico City and Pueblo Mexico has been hit with two massive earthquakes during the same time as Irma and Maria hit the Caribbean and the US.
If anyone wishes to work with us let us know.
Thank you
