In the midst of the ongoing war in Ukraine, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA (UOC of the USA) stands as a steadfast pillar of support and compassion. The church's dedication to providing humanitarian aid to those affected by the war is a testament to its mission of love and service.

The UOC of the USA’s Charitable Mission in Eastern Ukraine, led by Very Rev. Fr. Konstantyn Kuznetsov and his wife Natalia, has been at the forefront of delivering critical supplies to war-torn regions. They have been tirelessly coordinating the distribution of food, baby formula, water, and other logistical necessities. Despite facing extreme heat and dangerous conditions, Fr. Konstantyn travels over 700 kilometers regularly to ensure these supplies reach those in need.

Every week, truckloads of food items and other essentials are dispatched to various towns, including Pokrovsk, New York, and Kostiantynivka. These efforts provide more than just physical sustenance; they offer hope and a reminder of the global community's support. Fr. Konstantyn underscores their mission with profound dedication: "Our mission is to feed, clothe, support! We continue to work for the sake of people and Ukraine! We form and distribute hundreds of food kits to families trying to survive in war conditions. People receive not just a survival package, but also care, support, a warm and kind word."

In the Dnipro region, the distribution of aid from the UOC of the USA is coordinated by His Eminence Metropolitan Serhiy of the Donetsk Eparchy of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine. His efforts ensure that refugees from Mariupol and other devastated areas receive the necessary support to endure these challenging times.

Metropolitan Serhiy reflects on these critical efforts: "Today, a team of volunteers and I purchased, delivered, unloaded, and inhaled survival kits for people who suffered as a result of Russian aggression. I want to thank Vladyka Daniel and the entire Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA on my own behalf and on behalf of many families of immigrants for systematic financial assistance to our volunteer centers in Donetsk region and the city of Dnipro. Together to victory!"

The ongoing humanitarian efforts of the UOC of the USA highlight the resilience and compassion of the Ukrainian spirit. The church's unwavering commitment ensures that hope and sustenance reach those in dire need, providing both physical and emotional support amidst the chaos of war.
