Dear
bookstore friends and fans,
Today marks
a week since the explosion and building collapse that took the lives of 8
neighbors, and has left many families displaced by the tragedy. Amidst
the incredibly sad news, we would like to take this opportunity to shed light
on the tremendous outpouring of support from fellow New Yorkers for East
Harlem.
La Casa Azul Bookstore held a food/clothing drive immediately following the event and collected an unprecedented amount of food, clothing, water and toiletries in three days.The items have been delivered to Assemblyman Robert Rodriguez’ office and distribution of food and clothing has begun.

Thank you to all who gave their time and donations - proof of
El Barrio's solidarity in times of need.
Gracias,
