Satellite Beach, FL: MTN Advertising, a local marketing firm in Satellite Beach, is teaming up with the United States Air Force and Melbourne Regional Chamber of East Central Florida to collect and send emergency supplies to Puerto Rico.

In the wake of Hurricane Irma and Maria, Puerto Rico is in a state of crisis. The U.S. territory is still suffering from mass flooding and devastation that continues to put Puerto Rican residents at risk. People throughout the island are lacking drinkable water, adequate food supplies, electricity, sewer service, fuel, phone, internet, and other means for critical aid. MTN Advertising is among many companies and communities across the nation rallying to get immediate support to Puerto Rico’s disaster victims.

MTN’s Puerto Rico Relief Drop-Off Event will take place Friday, Oct. 13, from 5 P.M – 8 P.M. It will be held in the Company’s front parking lot, located at 1355 South Patrick Drive in Satellite Beach. In addition to the drop-off box collecting emergency items, there will also be music, refreshments and prize raffles. Anyone wishing to donate items can choose to “drop and go”, or stay a while to enjoy the event.

Blankets, mosquito spray, baby formula and bottled water are some of the emergency supplies that will be collected. A complete list of accepted items can be found at www.mtninc.com/relief. Please no cash donations. Only new items can be accepted. More information about this event can be obtained by contacting: 321-779-1010, angeline@mtninc.com.
