Hot Toppings Chile Quake Appeal
Monday, March 1st, 2010
With immediate effect, all hot topping sales will be donated in full to the British Red Cross Chile Earthquake Appeal. Hot toppings are available until Tuesday 16th March.
As the death toll from Saturday’s earthquake in Chile reaches more than 700, the international Red Cross response is taking shape. At a magnitude of 8.8 on the Richter scale, the earthquake is one of the ten largest ever recorded.
The Chilean government estimates that, aside from the 700 recorded dead so far, around two million people were affected by the disaster.
There have been more than 90 aftershocks so far, including one of 6.9 on the Richter scale. Infrastructure, such as electricity and water supplies, roads, hospitals and bridges, has been damaged and communications with some of the affected areas have not yet been fully restored.
Field hospitals, tents, telecommunications equipment and electric generators are some of the most urgently needed items and the British Red Cross are supporting the Chilean Red Cross who are working closely with the country’s national emergency office to provide immediate aid to people affected.
We at Snog send our sincere condolences to those affected and hope you will join us in supporting this worthy cause, the full purchase price of any hot topping; espresso shot, apple crumble, berry compote or pears and cinnamon, purchased between now and Tuesday 16th March will be donated directly to the appeal.
