In response to the tens of thousands affected by the Venezuelan earthquake, the Government of Canada announced on June 30th that it will match all donations made to the Humanitarian Coalition (HC) appeal between June 25 and July 14, up to $2 million. The HC comprises 12 leading Canadian aid agencies including the Canadian Foodgrains Bank, of which Alongside Hope is a member. Please visit the article by Janice Biehn for details.
We realize there are calls for help from all over the globe; it seems, on a monthly basis. We just want to bring this government initiative to your attention. Should you elect to make a donation, please send your donation directly to Alongside Hope to ensure the funds are received by July 14. Details for donations as follows:
- Give online.
- Give on the phone by calling 1-866-308-7973
- By mail. Please send your cheque to Alongside Hope, 80 Hayden Street, Toronto, ON, M4Y 3G2, indicating “Venezuela” in the notes.
Thank you.
