Ukraine war: Congress should partner with local and faith-based groups for aid

Religious communities in the United States and in impacted countries are asking and answering the same vital questions as Congress: What do you need, and how can we help?

Faith-based organizations are often the first responders to any humanitarian disaster.

Ukrainian churches are already on the front lines responding to the immediate needs of people within the country, and congregations around the world are funneling support to churches and organizations in Ukraine. Christian humanitarian aid organization Samaritan’s Purse is also sending aid and deploying five field hospitals. Other organizations, are sending resources and staff to assist Ukrainian refugees who have fled to Poland.
