Several businesses in the Bay Area are coming together to collect relief supplies for Venezuela following the deadly twin earthquakes that struck the nation. This includes a Venezuelan food truck in San Jose.
The death toll in Venezuela is climbing as the desperate search for survivors continues
following two major earthquakes. Authorities confirmed 1450 have died and nearly 69,000 are still missing.
Several Bay area businesses came together to collect relief supplies, including Aquenono in San Jose. On Sunday, the husband and wife owners of the food truck business have been collecting everything, from gloves to food, to walkers and dog food.
They say many of their clients have loved ones in Venezuela.
