Relief for Ukrainian Refugees

Tragedy struck the people of Ukraine earlier this year when Russia launched its invasion, immediately creating a devastating humanitarian crisis. Cross Catholic Outreach’s longtime relationship with the Vatican offered a rapid and significant way to help those effected, and our donors fueled that outreach by opening their hearts to help displaced families, children and the elderly.

Through our partnership with the Vatican’s Dicastery for the Service of Charity, we have been able to provide food, water, sanitary kits, wheelchairs, medicines, ambulances and other supplies to relief centers in the communities of Lutsk, Struga and Nowa Uszyca. Cross Catholic Outreach is also assisting Ukrainian refugees in Poland as they contend with the trauma of war and displacement.
