EROSKI has launched an emergency fundraising campaign to support people affected by the devastating earthquakes in Venezuela. Customers wishing to contribute can make a voluntary donation of any amount at the checkout in any EROSKI store.

The two powerful earthquakes that struck the north-central region of the country have caused extensive damage to homes, critical infrastructure, and essential services, leaving thousands of people extremely vulnerable. The immediate priority is to support search-and-rescue operations and provide emergency shelter, healthcare, drinking water, essential supplies, and psychosocial support to those affected.

As in previous emergency fundraising campaigns, EROSKI will add its own contribution to the donations made by customers in its stores. All funds raised will be channelled through the Red Cross, which is already working on the ground alongside the Venezuelan Red Cross to meet the most urgent needs of the affected population.

Together with its customers and the EROSKI Foundation, EROSKI has donated more than half a million euros through previous emergency fundraising campaigns to support people affected by natural disasters and other humanitarian emergencies, including the DANA weather system that affected several Spanish regions (October 2024), the floods in Morocco and Libya (2023), the earthquakes in Türkiye and Syria (2023), the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine (2022), La Palma (2020), Mallorca (2018), Syria (2015), Nepal (2015), the Philippines (2013), Lorca (Murcia) (2011), and Haiti (2010 and 2016).
