In response to the horrific explosion that occurred in Beirut, Our Lady of Lebanon church – Toronto is being approached by many generous individuals and groups who wish to help or to organize fundraisers, and asking for our support to send the donations to Lebanon.

Help is needed right now! Instead of us collecting the money then sending it later to Lebanon, our recommendation is that YOU DONATE DIRECTLY ONLINE, through a trusted NGO or Charity. Please check the websites of the Charities listed below, then decide which one you will feel more comfortable supporting.

However, in case some people or fundraisers collect cash donations, and prefer to send the funds to Lebanon through our church, we will transfer the money as soon as possible to one of these listed charities.

God bless Lebanon! God bless you all!
