The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC), has established a special fund for donations to help the victims of the humanitarian crisis in Lebanon. All contributions made to the ADC fund will be donated to Mercy Corps which will assist those in need.

"The ongoing humanitarian crisis in Lebanon has deeply affected all of us in the US. ADC knows the community would like to help alleviate some of the suffering, we hope you will contribute to this fund," said ADC President Hon. Mary Rose Oakar.

The special fund has been set up through the ADC Research Institute (ADCRI). ADCRI is a 501(c)(3) educational and charitable foundation, and contributions to it are tax-deductible to the fullest extent permitted by law.
