Resources
Members of the VCU community are encouraged to support the charities and relief efforts of their choice, and we recommend careful vetting of such agencies. The Turkish Embassy in Washington D.C. has announced ways to offer monetary donations to support the search and rescue efforts of victims as well as in-kind donations of items needed by those affected. Please view above information about how to donate.
