If you wish to help you may do so through the St. Andrew’s, marking your donation PWS&D “Lebanon Crisis.”, or follow the links in the info below.
We join with those around the world who are praying for the people affected by the terrible disaster in Beirut.
Thousands have been injured and hundreds of thousands of people have become homeless. Additionally, much of the food in Lebanon, which is imported due to limited production capacity, was destroyed by the explosions—exacerbating food insecurity in a country already affected by COVID-19 and a severe economic crisis.
PWS&D has been providing support to Syrian refugees and host communities in Lebanon through ACT Alliance and Canadian Foodgrains Bank partners for several years. These partners are on the ground, actively assessing the situation to determine how best to respond.
Between August 4 and 24, the Government of Canada is matching all donations made to the Humanitarian Coalition and its members, up to $2 million. Through our membership in Canadian Foodgrains Bank (a member of the Humanitarian Coalition) gifts to PWS&D are eligible to be matched.
You can also make a gift through your church, by mailing a cheque or by calling 1-800-619-7301 x291. Please mark your donation “Lebanon Crisis.”
Please give generously today.
