Donations for Syria

Juri Love has introduced us to a nonprofit organization whose purpose is to help families impacted by the Syrian crisis. The Club's goal is to collect items that can be sent to Syria through this organization. See the bottom of the email for items you can bring to the next meeting, April 6th.

If you go to the website, http://www.nudaysyria.net, there is a TedX talk that the founder explains exactly their mission. It is compelling.

Here is their mission:

Mission

NuDay Syria is a non-profit organization focused on bringing humanitarian aid inside Syria and to help displaced Syrians in the bordering areas around Syria. We focus on bringing housing and food to displaced families with single mothers or wounded family members. We are especially concerned with the lack of safe shelter and living for single mothers with daughters. NuDay Syria is also focused on individual displaced people’s quality of life and will facilitate educational and micro-financial opportunities in order to help ensure financial independence and a means for individuals to eventually be able to help others, both financially and motivationally.

ITEMS TO BRING APRIL 6th

Gently used and new items, food, and medical supplies and equipment. Examples of much needed items are clothes, coats, shoes, boots, new underwear and socks, female hygiene products, diapers, soap, powdered detergent, sleeping bags, blankets, soccer balls, stuffed animals, non-battery operated toys.

Food items needed include rice, flour, cooking oil, sugar, cans or bags of tuna, food high in protein such as peanut butter or nutella, energy bars, protein drinks, powdered and liquid milk and *always* infant milk in any form. All food items must be unexpired and in non-breakable packaging.

If you have any questions, please reach out to Juri.
