The ARS of Eastern U.S.A. continues to offer support to the ARS of Syria through numerous other programs, which help Syrian-Armenians sustain themselves through these difficult times. It is vital that we continue to assist the Syrian-Armenian people through our many Syrian Relief Programs, including the “Hot Meal,” “Warm Home,” and “Sponsor A Syrian Armenian Family” programs.
The ARS has been active in Syria since 1919, when the Armenian Red Cross was founded in Aleppo by a group of Syrian-Armenians, who sought to provide relief to survivors of the Armenian Genocide. It has maintained a presence in Syria for a century, and we hope to continue supporting their efforts.
