Alexandria, VA – Good360, the global leader in product philanthropy and purposeful giving, is mobilizing an emergency relief response after two powerful earthquakes struck northern Venezuela on June 24, devastating communities across La Guaira, Caracas, and beyond. At least 589 people have been killed, nearly 3,000 injured, and more than 46,000 remain unaccounted for as search and rescue efforts continue.

“Our hearts go out to the people of Venezuela in the wake of this devastating disaster. This is a region already grappling with scarce resources and facing profound humanitarian challenges – the scale of destruction is staggering. Good360 is working closely with our partners to ensure that critical goods reach the people who need them most, and we are committed to staying engaged through both the immediate response and the long road to recovery.”
