International Paper contributes $50k towards earthquake relief in Syria and Turkey
The countless lives lost, families displaced, and overall devastation caused by the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria have shocked and saddened us. International Paper has contributed $50,000 USD to the Global Foodbanking Network's Emergency Response Fund for their member food bank in Turkey, the Tider Basic Needs Association.
Tider has a presence on the ground in Turkey, with a network of more than 60 locally led food banks, and has responded within hours to assist with emergency assessments and response efforts. They are also a member of Afet Platformu, a group of 26 non-governmental organizations that carefully coordinate disaster response across the country; the group was formed in January 2020 in the aftermath of the 6.7 magnitude Elazig earthquake.
Food banks with a local presence understand how to provide food and other relief supplies quickly and where they are most needed. Furthermore, our EMEA Packaging facilities are donating boxes to local organizations in several countries that are donating essential goods to disaster relief efforts.
