As Northwest Turkish Community Association (NWTCA), with the contributions of Turkish Airlines, Consulate General of Manchester, Barta Logistics, Goss Outdoor and Gemak UK, are organising an aid campaign for our citizens in 10 affected cities after the 7.5 magnitude earthquake centered in Kahramanmaraş in Turkey yesterday morning.
We know that you, like us, are making every effort to help. You can buy and pack what you can from the list of needs I have shared below and deliver it to the addresses of the following Turkish businesses in Manchester or you can call in advance and drop it off yourself during working hours.
The deadline for delivery to the warehouses is Friday 10 February, 5pm.
The aid materials must be new, friends. Please share this message with everyone possible so that we can make a good support. Today is the day of solidarity, let's join hands and give hope to everyone affected by the earthquake.
