Movistar Arena, a collection center for humanitarian aid for Venezuela

The Movistar Arena parking lot has become one of Bogotá’s main humanitarian collection centers, gathering relief supplies for Venezuela following the 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes that struck the country’s north-central region on June 24, 2026. The initiative is led by the Juntos Se Puede Foundation, with the support of the Bogotá Mayor’s Office, and is receiving donations from citizens, businesses, and volunteers who have joined the relief effort.

Collection Center Hours

The Movistar Arena collection center is open to the public from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. in the venue’s parking lot, where visitors can drop off donations or sign up to volunteer.

The Impact of the Relief Effort

During the first week of the emergency, the Juntos Se Puede Foundation received more than 800 tons of humanitarian aid in Bogotá, of which 140 tons have already been shipped to the affected areas in Venezuela. Operations at Movistar Arena have been supported by more than 100 volunteers each day, who are responsible for receiving, sorting, and organizing donations.
