Migros joins the Van relief campaign

In the response to the Van earthquake, Migros stores, branches and distribution centers were all mobilized and came to the aid of the disaster’s victims. Working together with the Turkish Red Crescent Society, Migros dispatched two container carriers laden with food within the first twelve hours. Six more vehicles along with 14 trucks and 4 pickups carrying supplies donated by private individuals were also sent into the disaster area at the company’s expense. At its Migros, Tansaş, Macrocenter, 5M and Virtual Market stores, two differently-composed cases of necessities were displayed as examples. People were invited to make donations to send the supplies, which were booked at cost, to earthquake victims in Van through the company’s distribution centers. The names of those who made such donations were announced on the Migros corporate website.

During the Feast of Sacrifice holiday, customers were given opportunities to send donations to a number of charities (Darüşşafaka Orphanage, Foundation for the Training and Protection of Mentally Handicapped Children, Istanbul Education and Solidarity Foundation for Mental Retardation and Solidarity Association for the Physical Disabled) through Migros stores and Virtual Market.
