Canadian Red Cross launches appeal to support people impacted by the earthquake in Colombia

The Canadian Red Cross is working to support those impacted by the earthquake in Colombia and has launched the Colombia Earthquake Appeal.

The Red Cross is working to get help to those impacted by the earthquake in Colombia as quickly as possible. Money raised will enable the Red Cross to support immediate relief, recovery efforts, and resilience, as well as preparedness and relief activities for future events in impacted and surrounding areas. As urgent needs are met in this crisis, funds may be used to support readiness and response to future disasters.

Canadians wishing to make a donation to the Colombia Earthquake Appeal can do so online at www.redcross.ca or by calling 1-800-418-1111.
