The Turkish American Society of Northeastern Ohio is collecting clothing, food, hygiene products and emergency items for victims of the 7.8- and 7.4-magnitude earthquakes that devastated Turkey and Syria and have claimed more than 11,000 lives so far with officials warning that the number will climb.
“The victims of the earthquake in Türkiye urgently need your help for their recovery from this catastrophe,” TASNO said in a statement. “It is winter and many people had to leave their homes without clothing.”
For clothing, TASNO is especially seeking winter wear like coats, hats and gloves. Additional requests include necessities like heaters, flashlights, generators and sleeping bags, as well as non-perishable, canned foods and diapers, toothbrushes, menstrual products and other hygiene items.
