Urgent Needs


 

The Need:

Operation Iraqi Children is launching a drive for items other than school supplies which are urgently needed by the Iraqi people. Heating fuel shortages and power outages make running heaters very difficult, if not impossible, in a country where temperatures often drop to freezing at night. Basic necessities such as blankets and shoes are essential for survival. Our soldiers need our help to provide these items for the many Iraqi citizens who are struggling just to stay warm.

The Answer:

Donations for Urgent Needs may be made in the form of a contribution of any of the items on the list, or monetarily. All monetary donations, directed specifically to the Urgent Needs fund, will be used to purchase blankets and shoes. These items will be shipped, along with the school supply kits, to Iraq to be distributed by our soldiers. Donations may be made online or sent to:

People to People International
501 E. Armour Blvd.
Kansas City, MO 64109

Please make checks out to PTPI/OIC and write IFF-OIC Urgent Needs on the memo line.
