Humanitarian Aid
With the invasion of Ukraine and the alarming rise of people in crisis, all funds received by the Ukraine Crisis Appeal are going toward urgent humanitarian aid. We are working with our existing partner Caritas. Aid delivered includes items such as food, clean water, blankets, emergency housing, clothing, medical assistance, and more.

Since 2015 we have been helping people in need in Ukraine. And now we are in need of your donations more than ever.
