Get Simple Box donates container for Venezuela quake relief

Get Simple Box is donating a 20-foot cargo-worthy storage container to help move emergency supplies to families affected by the earthquakes in Venezuela. The effort runs through the National Portable Storage Association and We Love Foundation, with aid routed via Puerto Rico and Miami to the Dominican Republic and then into crisis areas.

Why it matters: - The donated container helps protect medical supplies, food, clean water and shelter materials as they move into disaster zones. - Portable storage can reduce spoilage and damage during transit, which is critical when relief shipments face weather and handling risks. - The effort adds private-sector logistics support to a multi-organization humanitarian response already moving 22 cargo containers.

What happened: - Get Simple Box is donating a 20-foot cargo-worthy container to support emergency relief for families affected by the earthquakes in Venezuela. - The company is working with the National Portable Storage Association and We Love Foundation Inc., formerly I Love Venezuela Foundation. - The broader coalition is sending 22 cargo containers to support the Dominican Red Cross, the Government of the Dominican Republic and shipping partner Antillean Line. - Supplies will be loaded in Puerto Rico and routed through Miami before reaching communities in crisis. - The announcement was made Aug. 13, 2026, from Jupiter, Florida.

The details: - Ross Black, CEO of Get Simple Box, said the effort was personal because his son’s best friend has family directly affected by the earthquake, with relatives still missing. - Black said the company could not be on the ground in Venezuela but wanted to support the response with its resources. - The donated container will serve as a secure vessel for aid in transit. - Ground efforts and distribution are being guided by We Love Foundation, which focuses on direct relief and long-term hope for vulnerable populations. - Santi Chumaceiro, co-founder and president of We Love Foundation, said the partnership shows what can happen when people come together to care for one another. - Community members can support the response with financial donations at We Love Foundation.

Between the lines: - The donation shows how storage and logistics companies can play a direct role in disaster response without deploying personnel into the affected area. - The route through Puerto Rico and Miami highlights the need for coordinated shipping infrastructure in fast-moving relief operations. - The personal connection cited by Get Simple Box suggests the company’s support was driven by both operational capability and emotional urgency.

What's next: - Relief groups will continue loading and moving supplies through the coalition’s shipping network. - Donations collected through We Love Foundation are intended to fund emergency supplies and local distribution. - Get Simple Box is also directing readers to its operator licensing information at storage solutions and licensing opportunities.
