In support of our Ukraine Program, we have worked with many humanitarian aid organizations to maximize the impact of our ability to provide food and services directly to Ukrainian civilians in need. We have highlighted below several of our key partners with whom we coordinate our work for the Ukrainians.
UAid Direct
We have a special relationship with UAid Direct, a group of courageous volunteers who use their transportation network within Ukraine to distribute the food and supplies that we purchase to regions, villages and shelters throughout Ukraine, including Dnipro, Kharkiv, Kherson, Liubashivka, Nedryhailiv, Okny, Sumy, Tarashcha, Toretsk, Voinivka, Zelenohirs’ke, and Zaporizhzhia.
Youth With A Mission
We have purchased food and supplies for Youth With A Mission (YWAM) to distribute to Ukrainian refugees and Ukrainians living in camps and shelters located throughout Ukraine. YWAM distributed school supplies that we purchased for 2,000 children in Ukraine and we worked with YWAM to sponsor recovery retreats for War Veterans Families in the Carpathian Mountains.
Kidsave
Kidsave is an international organization dedicated to saving children from desperate circumstances. Kidsave has rescued over 30,000 women and children who have been displaced by Russia’s attacks. A substantial portion of the donations that we have received has been used to purchase food and supplies for Kidsave to deliver to Ukrainian women and children in need. We also have worked on the construction of the Miracles Center sponsored by Kidsave in the Carpathian Mountains for the development of Ukrainian youths.
The Golgotha Church
During 2022, we worked in Rivne, Ukraine with the wonderful Pastor Misha Onyschuk of the Golgotha Church to purchase food and supplies for approximately 500 Ukrainian families in Beresnequvate, Ukraine. (The Pastor is pictured with some of those families at the distribution site.) In 2023, we continued our work with the Church to provide food and staple products for 300 families in Pavlo Marianivka, a town in the Mykolaiv region (near Kherson). We are planning for further work together in August 2024.
Kocham Debniki Foundation
At the outbreak of the Russian war against Ukraine in 2022, a group of remarkable and professionally experienced women established the Debniki Community Center (pictured), a safe haven in Krakow for Ukrainian refugees where they receive food and other material support as well as educational services to assist them in coping with the continuing trauma as a result of losing their homes and loved ones in the war.
