Pollo Campero Donates $25,000 to Earthquake Relief in South America

A national fundraising event held on August 25 has yielded $25,000 for Direct Relief, as the fast-casual chain Pollo Campero mobilizes to support recovery efforts following severe earthquakes in Venezuela and Colombia. The donation follows a campaign where participating U.S. locations contributed 25 percent of sales to the medical aid organization.

The funds will bolster Direct Relief’s ongoing medical interventions in both nations. In Venezuela, where June 24 seismic activity compromised hospital infrastructure and health services, the organization has already deployed over 11 tons of medical supplies and $400,000 in emergency grants. In Colombia, resources are currently concentrated on the Chocó and Eje Cafetero regions, funding mobile medical teams and air transport to reach communities isolated by damaged road networks.

Karla Patino, vice president of marketing and sales at Pollo Campero, noted that the contribution underscores the restaurant’s long-term commitment to Latin American communities. Beyond this specific crisis response, the brand maintains a history of charitable activity, including an eight-year partnership with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and long-standing educational initiatives through the Campero Institute.
