In the wake of the devastating earthquake that struck Morocco, Houston Mayor Sylvester in collaboration with the Arab American Culture and Community Center and the Moroccan Society of Houston, will host a donation drive this weekend, September 16th and 17th, from 10 AM to 3 PM, to gather essential supplies for those impacted.

"Our hearts go out to the people of Morocco. As Houstonians, we understand the importance of solidarity during difficult times, and we are here to offer support and resources." said Mayor Turner.
