CRISIS IN UKRAINE

Dear Partner in Ministry,

Our hearts are overwhelmed with your generosity. Because of your rapid response, the $422,000 congregational match inspired by Nelsonville Lutheran Church and Peace Lutheran Church in Amherst, WI – and joined by incredible congregations across the country – has been met. Time is of the essence and your love is reaching neighbors immediately. Thank you so much.

Yet the needs of our neighbors in Ukraine and the number of refugees are growing every hour.Your continued love will get cash directly into the hands of refugees and support the incredible partners, including other Lutheran congregations near Ukraine, that are welcoming neighbors in with loving arms.

Our teams are on the ground meeting immediate needs and planning a longer-term response as families rebuild their lives after destruction. But we can’t do it without you.

Please continue to give – and to inspire your congregation – to give generously. See details below for more information about how to guide your congregation’s response.

Until your love reaches every neighbor.

Top four things you need to know to guide your congregation’s response:

You can give online at lwr.org/match. This link can be used for your congregational gift or by your individual members.
You can also give by mailing a check to Lutheran World Relief, PO Box 17061, Baltimore, MD 21297-1061. Please write "Ukraine match" in the memo line.
We've developed a suite of congregational resources for you! Resources include a bulletin insert, graphics to share on social media, photos and videos showing how your love is reaching our neighbors, and a report of how Lutheran World Relief is responding to this crisis.
