Hunger Lunch for the Tearfund Earthquake Appeal

Hunger Lunch for the Tearfund Earthquake Appeal

Very many thanks to all those who contributed to the Hunger Lunch (especially the 16 who attended it).

£220 was raised in cash and a further unknown amount was donated online (with Gift Aid), towards the Tearfund Turkey and Syria Earthquake Appeal.

Tearfund writes:

"Every minute counts in the desperate race to help people affected by the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria. And now another earthquake of 6.4 magnitude has struck Turkey. The church is rising up to respond – and you can make a difference right now.

More than 35,000 people have lost their lives. Whole towns have been flattened. Tens of thousands of people whose homes have been destroyed are now at the mercy of a freezing winter.

... Our church partner in Syria is providing vital supplies such as warm clothing, nourishing food and hygiene essentials. 

But the need is vast – any support we can give will make a crucial difference."
