ARS volunteers continue to work on the "Hot Meal" Program in Syria
Despite the dire socio-economic conditions in Aleppo, Syria, and
specifically in the Nor Kiugh suburb, the ARS/Syria has been able to
continue its mission of implementing humanitarian assistance to the
needy thanks to the support of the Armenian Relief Society, Inc.
Central Executive Board and ARS entities worldwide.
Through the initiative of the ARS, Inc. Central Executive Board,
the "Hot Meal" program, which started during the initial phases
of the war in October 2012, provides nutritious meals to 300 needy
individuals on a weekly basis. The meal program continued despite
the city's blockade and shortage of food supplies, but had to be
temporarily suspended due to the damages the ARS/Syria socio-medical
center experienced during the military operations in Nor Kiugh. On
June 19, 2014, through the efforts of the ARS/Syria Regional Board,
the program was revived at the "Simon Vratsian" Center's "Karni"
Hall, once again providing meals to those in need twice a week.
The third phase of the "Sponsor a Syrian-Armenian Family" project of
the ARS USA Eastern Region was implemented on July 3, 2014 at the
"Aram Manougian" Center's "Levon Shant" Hall. In total, $4,000 was
provided to forty needy families with newborn children.

With regard to the need for on-going aid, for two consecutive years the
ARS Central Executive Board has been financially assisting ARS/Syria's
shelter. On a monthly basis, 250 families receive food baskets and
other significant items. On July 25, 2014, in place of baskets,
the families received financial assistance.
Through the continuing support of the ARS Central Executive Board
and the efforts of ARS entities worldwide, the ARS/Syria continues
to reach the needy despite the challenging socio-economic conditions.
In addition to the aforementioned assistance programs, the ARS, Inc.
provides financial support to the Armenian schools through the
"School" fund. Also, the "Warm Home" project, initiated in 2013,
provides financial assistance to supply families with fuel and help
them warm their homes during the cold winter days.
The ARS Central Executive Board appreciates the fundraising activities
of the ARS entities among supporters and community circles for the
benefit of Syrian-Armenians and highly encourages the efforts of
all ARS entities for the successful implementation of all assistance
programs.
