Multiple sources have asked Collective Calling whether we are going to respond in any capacity at this current moment. Here is our statement:

“The current humanitarian response is a very complex situation, and we understand that people really want to help, NGOs are on the ground currently identifying what the actual needs are, and the best way that people can help at the moment is by giving financially to those NGOs. Unless coordination is going through legitimate NGOs on the ground, and they have identified a need, we would suggest NOT to set up collection points for clothing, food, and medical supplies, etc. If Collective Calling identifies a need that we have the capacity and resource to meet, we will then make the appropriate steps to respond, until then we are directing support to an NGO who are on the ground that we can vouch for, Samaritan’s Purse. Our prayers here at Collective Calling are with all of those affected by this conflict”.

Paul Carr, Co-Founder of Collective Calling, is also a disaster response team member (DART) for Samaritan’s Purse, an NGO who are currently on the ground assessing needs, and we would suggest that any help you would like to give, would be to donate financially to Samaritan’s Purse.
