StephLOne reason I like to support IOCC is that they have boots on the ground in countries throughout the world and when disaster strikes they can mobilize quickly. Their resources can be directed to the greatest current need, whether it is war torn Ukraine or earthquake relief in Syria/Turkey. Or maybe closer to home after floods, fires or earthquakes. They also leverage their ability to get grants and funding, to make our smaller dollars go further and work harder.
I would love to see IOCC take one of these last pots because I am confident a variety of needs will be met with their aid.
