Maritime Conference - The United Church of Canada Horn of Africa Appeal

Maritime Conference - The United Church of Canada Horn of Africa Appeal

Your support is urgently needed for our brothers and sisters in the Horn of Africa. The situation in the region is the most severe humanitarian crisis in the world today. It is more than a food crisis - it is a struggle for sheer survival.

In early August the United Church issued a church-wide appeal inviting members to donate to the growing food security crisis in the Horn of Africa. To date over $500,000 has been raised! However, the need for funds remains critical.


Please give on line at: http://www.united-church.ca/., by direct mail to The United Church of Canada, 3250 Bloor Street West, Toronto, ON M8X 2Y4 or through the offering plate. All gifts given before September 16th and received byGCO by September 26th will be matched by CIDA (Canadian InternationalDevelopment Agency). Time, therefore, is of the essence. The UnitedChurch deducts no administrative costs; every dollar given is used for emergency relief. Thank you for your generous support
