I have noticed the IOOC, CNEWA and other groups don't list that they are actively involved in Turkey, only Syria. This is probably due to historic geopolitical/religious reasons. But I have an intuition (which could be totally wrong) that the below links might get money more directly into the Orthodox communities inside Turkey. https://antiochian.networkforgood.com/projects/185127-earthquake-relief-for-turkey-and-syria https://www.goarch.org/donate/earthquake-relief-fund

Kindly remember, as we ease into Great Lent, that fasting, prayer, and almsgiving are a triadic relationship. We need all three in order to maintain spiritual balance as we enter to the great arena of the Fast.
