Cleveland, you have a chance to help those still on the long road to recovery in Puerto Rico.

The island is working to get itself back up and running, and the local Latino community has partnered with News 5 to help.

On Tuesday, October 10, the Hispanic Business Center of the Northeast Ohio Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, the Julia de Burgos Cultural Arts Center and the Hispanic Alliance will host a telethon from 4-6:30 p.m. on News 5.

Viewers can call 1-800-658-5370 to donate to Cleveland For Puerto Rico Relief Efforts.

All donations will go directly to the Puerto Rico Community Foundation, specifically designated for hurricane relief efforts on the parts of the island that were hit the hardest during Hurricane Maria.

Donations can also be given online between now and November 30.
