The federal government’s commitment to match donations given for Pakistan relief following the severe flooding in August came to an end Oct. 3. Presbyterians gave more than $317,000 with over $281,000 of that eligible to be matched. The disaster affected an estimated 20 million people. Presbyterian World Service and Development is working with the Canadian Foodgrains Bank and the ACT Alliance to provide food, shelter, emergency supplies and medical care for nearly 300,000 of those most affected. — AM
