Love for Ukraine
The invasion of Ukraine is costing precious lives and creating a humanitarian crisis as people flee to safety. Over a million people, displaced from their homes, are seeking refuge in neighbouring countries. Many have lost friends, loved ones, and property; struggle to meet their basic needs, and face an uncertain future. United Churches and Mission & Service partners are responding to the rapidly unfolding crisis. Love your family and neighbours, and help any in need!
