The Turkey-Syria Earthquake Relief Effort
Supporting the response through Presbyterian Disaster Assistance*
Many within the WPC community have begun to inquire how they can support the relief effort for the devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck near the Turkey-Syria border on February 6. With a death toll now surpassing 20,000 and an estimated 23 million people affected, the needs are great.
Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA) is a way to quickly provide financial support to our neighbors in need. If you prefer, WPC can help to facilitate your donation.
