You can drop off clothes for Venezuela at collection sites in NYC that are currently helping gather donations after this week’s earthquakes, including Lulla’s Cafe in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and Arepas Cafe in Astoria, Queens.

Where to bring them

  • Lulla’s Cafe, Williamsburg, Brooklyn — listed as one of the active collection centers.
  • Arepas Cafe, Astoria, Queens — another NYC drop-off point for donations.
  • The mayor’s office also suggested donating through trusted humanitarian groups like UN OCHA and Caritas.

What to know

Clothing is being accepted, but reporting notes that first aid and medical supplies are especially critical right now. If you’re heading over, it’s smart to call or check the site’s latest donation instructions before bringing items, since collection needs can change quickly.

Best next step

If you want the most reliable option, use one of the two cafe drop-offs above or donate through a trusted relief organization instead of an informal collection point.
