Disaster Update: Chalice East Africa Drought Relief Fund
Thank you for being part of the Chalice Family.
Thank you for being a powerful example of faith, love and support to those in need.
As many Canadians hope for a dry sunny summer, this is not the case in East Africa. Currently, there is an ongoing drought and famine and we have a real need for your support. Successive seasons of failed rains combined with increasing food prices, conflict and limited humanitarian access have resulted in a crisis affecting millions of people in East Africa.
* Every dollar donated to Chalice East Africa Drought Relief Fund from 6 July to 9 Sept. will be matched by the Canadian Government.
As Mother Teresa said so eloquently:
"We ourselves feel that what we're doing is just a drop in the ocean.
But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop."
On behalf of our Chalice family in Canada and around the world, we ask for your support.
We ask that you add another drop to our Ocean.

A $50 donation can buy one 90kg bag of maize (refined corn) and can feed 40 families for one week!
