The distribution on Tuesday started at 11 a.m., but many people were already in line outside the EVM office on Middle Road as early as 10 a.m.
EVM distributed a total of 2,142 care packages in July and 303, so far, in August.
On behalf of EVM, Ajoste thanked the donors: Mobil Oil Marianas branches and their agents Anthony Wenceslao and Malaina Kileleman, AA Enterprise, JP World Corp., JEM Company, and J&JM Enterprise.
She said EVM also used some of its funds to purchase canned goods.
