GREEK ORTHODOX CHURCH OF AMERICA AND IOCC CHARITIES EARTHQUAKE RELIEF FUND

The Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America has established an Earthquake Relief Fund to provide humanitarian aid to the victims of the recent earthquakes in Turkey and Syria. The focus of the fund is to help with both the immediate needs and the longer-term implications of the devastation from the deadly earthquakes in Turkey and Syria. The Archdiocese will partner with International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC) to identify trusted organizations for aid distribution. A long-standing and trusted partner, IOCC has a proven track record in humanitarian and emergency relief and will lend its logistical and on-the-ground expertise to ensure effective distribution of funds raised by the Archdiocese. Distribution will be directed primarily to those impacted by the earthquake in Turkey, and, as opportunities to assist are identified, to Syria. On Sunday, March 5, St. Nicholas will pass a tray to support the GOA Earthquake Relief Fund. Please write a check or donate online to St.Nicholas GOC and write on the memo line Earthquake Relief Fund. We will also continue to accept donations until Sunday, March 19. Thank you for your support.
