Thank you to all who have donated to UMCOR’s Ukraine relief efforts. Here is one more example of how your donations are being used. UMCOR is collaborating with a Texas-based humanitarian organization focused on Ukraine and Ohio Health to send 47,895 pounds of medical supplies and equipment worth $935,000 to two hospitals in Kyiv, Ukraine. “This is the biggest shipment we have ever had,” said Dr. Vitaly Demyanchuk, deputy director of the Ukrainian Health Ministry Heart Institute in Kyiv. “Every box contains useful supplies that give us the possibility of providing high quality medical care to our patients, for wounded individuals and others in our area. We thank all of the American people. Together we are strong.” Donations to UMCOR may be made with your regular offering or by EasyTithe (please mark your donation “UMCOR- Ukraine”) or at the UMCOR website.
