A Venezuelan restaurant in Oklahoma City is stepping up to help its home country after a series of earthquakes caused widespread damage. VeneBurgers, a local eatery known for its South American flavors, has launched a donation drive to collect essential supplies for those affected in Venezuela.

The restaurant is asking for non-perishable food, bottled water, hygiene products, and medical supplies. Customers and community members can drop off items at the restaurant during business hours. The owner, who has family still living in Venezuela, said the recent tremors left many people without homes or access to basic necessities. "We are far away, but we can still send help," the owner said in a statement. "Every bag of rice or bar of soap makes a difference."

The effort has already gained traction on social media, with locals sharing the call for donations. VeneBurgers plans to ship the collected goods directly to relief organizations operating in the hardest-hit regions. The restaurant is also accepting monetary contributions to cover shipping costs. No specific timeline has been given for the shipment, but the drive will continue as long as supplies are needed. For now, the focus is on gathering as much aid as possible to support Venezuelans during this difficult time.
