Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to [address removed]
To relieve suffering wherever the need is greatest, this Committee, set up in 1942, sends whatever supplies it can -to refugees and war. victims, including the aged and children, many of whom are orphaned.
The Committee includes twenty-seven members from the principal religious denominations as well as University and business men and women. No funds whatsoever are received from official sources, and the gifts of generous individual people have enabled the charity to send more than a midlion warm garments each year, as well as food, medicines, and other relief supplies to help those in need.
This appeal is not only to enable the Committee to carry on its work, but to extend it where the need is greatest. A gift of twenty shillings makes it possible for as many as seventy garments to reach ' forgotten people '; ten shillings covers enough for one family, and two- shillings for one child.
