A container of donated items has already been filled, now funds are needed to pay to ship to the African countries.
The fundraiser, organized by the Women’s Collaborative Hub and Trish Mandewo, Coquitlam councillor, will take place at Pasta Polo Restaurant in Coquitlam.
Tickets are $50 and include dinner and wine, and there will be surprise musical guests.
Vegan and vegetarian options are also available.
Tropical storm hit March 4 to March 21 and caused $2 billion in damage and left more than 1,200 people dead.
