Collecting Winter Clothing and Blankets for S. Asia Quake Victims

UPDATED 10/17/05

 

Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has offered to fly supplies out

to Pakistan from New York City. With temperatures dropping to near

freezing in northern Pakistan and 5 million people (est.) left

homeless, CAIR-Philly will be collecting winter clothing and blankets

to send to those in need. We will deliver the items to PIA in New York.

 

We will collect items at various locations around the city (see below

for details) until Thursday October 20 for our first drop-off on

October 21.

 

We encourage everyone to pass this around to your co-workers and

friends. If you are able to, collect from other people on your own and

drop items off at one of the official collection points.

 

This is so important. Without these supplies, there is a great danger

the death toll in the region will continue to rise. Please take the

time out to contribute to this effort.

 

Thank-you so much,

CAIR-Philly
