Ukraine Relief Fund

Ukraine is home to at least 200,000 Jewish people, and over 70 Messianic Jewish congregations. We are standing with our brothers and sisters in their time of need. With support from the UMJC Ukraine Relief Fund, our partners in Ukraine, Poland, and Romania are working to provide life-saving aid to the people of Ukraine, with a special focus on the Jewish community.

As of October 12, 2022, we have received 347 donations totaling $93,871 and have distributed all of these funds to our partners on the ground.

In eastern Poland, your donations support refugees with hot meals, blankets, diapers, emergency housing, plane tickets to fly to Israel, and free rides to destinations further inside Europe.

In western and central Ukraine, our partners are feeding, housing, and transporting internal refugees.

In the cities of eastern Ukraine, which are under heavy bombardment, we have partnered with 30 Messianic Jewish leaders to make cash transfers to people who are trapped in basements and bomb shelters, to pay for food, medicine, gasoline, and water.

Due to the urgent need, we are not taking any kind of administrative “cut” from donations to the Ukraine Relief Fund. Instead we are adding to donations to cover credit card processing and wire transfer fees. This means that your donations are distributed directly and immediately to our partners on the ground, and they are saving lives right now. Thank you for standing with the people of Ukraine through your prayers and your generous financial gifts.
