The couple, along with Monica’s parents, Steve and Rosemary Harsey, also of Placentia, have established the Tri-City Honduran Relief Effort. Chiquita Brands International is coordinating the shipping of the supplies.
Needed are food, clothing, medicine and other relief supplies.
Donations may be dropped off Saturday in Placentia, Yorba Linda and Brea between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. For locations and other information: (800) 428-4205.
