KMJQ and sister stations of Radio One had an overwhelming amount of support from locals and celebs who donated items and supplies for the Haiti victims. We would like to THANK YOU HOUSTON! We were able to load up five 18-wheeler trucks! We collected items such as water, canned goods, toiletries, diapers, clothing, baby formula, and more! The rain and weather didn’t stop Houston!
We had volunteers and community support from all over the city. This was truly a success for Houston and we are grateful to be able to lend a hand to Haiti. All of the proceeds will be going to victims affected by the devastating earthquake that hit on Tuesday.
Here are images from our Haiti Relief drive held at Kroger!
