The City of Edinburg is mobilizing to help people in Villa de Santiago, Nuevo Leon, Mexico recover from the devastation caused by Hurricane Alex.

Santiago is Edinburg’s Sister City. The town was flooded with water during Hurricane Alex. Roads, bridges, homes, and cars were destroyed.

The City of Edinburg, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Edinburg Economic Development Corporation have organized to collect food, water, furniture, and medical supplies to be sent to the people of Santiago.

The collection will take place Thursday, July 8th through Thursday, July 15th. Items can be dropped off at the Edinburg Chamber of Commerce at 602 W. University Drive. Donations will be accepted Monday through Friday from 8am until 5pm. On Friday, July 16th, the items will be picked up for delivery to Santiago.

The City of Edinburg is also looking for volunteers to help staff the drop off location. For more information call the Chamber of Commerce at 383-4974.
