We are taking steps to support rescue and recovery efforts in Türkiye and Syria. Help us get vital assistance to those impacted by the crisis.
eBay is making a donation of $250,000 to the nonprofit CARE for their Türkiye and Syria Earthquake Fund. Through this support, CARE will be reaching the thousands of vulnerable people of the region with emergency food, health services, and shelter.
We are also supporting the humanitarian efforts in those regions by raising funds for World Central Kitchen, Team Rubicon, and International Rescue Committee and will match up to $250,000 in donations from our buyers and sellers through March 31st.
In February 2023, two earthquakes struck Türkiye and Syria—some of the strongest to strike the area in more than a century. The death toll is increasing fast, having reached over 47,000 and counting. Responders continue their search for the thousands more trapped in collapsed buildings. Freezing temperatures and damaged infrastructure have complicated rescue efforts. Organizations are on the ground distributing food, clean water, shelter, blankets, and medical supplies, and providing essential healthcare services.
Buyers on eBay can donate up to $10 through Give at Checkout by following these simple steps:
