We urgently need “$100,000 for Peace” to provide much-needed food, water, health care and education for war-affected Iraqi families displaced in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Jordan. More than 4 million people - 15 percent of Iraq’s population - have been forced from their homes because of war and bloodshed. Act now, in the name of peace.

A gift of $40 can feed a family of four for two weeks. $85 can provide warm coats and hats for 5 children. $100 can provide medicine and testing for the chronically ill. Click here to make a generous gift toward our $100,000 goal by January 6, the day when western Christians will observe Epiphany and most Iraqi Christians will celebrate Orthodox Christmas Eve. Let’s give a $100,000 gift to support our Iraqi brothers and sisters.

The “100,000 for Peace” campaign is committed to lifting 100,000 prayers for military personnel serving in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere this Christmas. In the coming days and weeks, we’ll be providing numerous resources and outlets for you to express your concern for our troops and for their safe return. (from www.ucc.org)
