Since the beginning of 2025, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church has provided charitable assistance to 2360 families of forced migrants. This was reported by the UOC Synodal Department for Social and Humanitarian Issues on its Telegram channel.
Internally displaced persons receive humanitarian aid packages from the Ukrainian Orthodox Church every Saturday.
Behind each of them is a living story of pain, hope, and faith. People who have lost their homes, loved ones, and jobs come for support and find it.
The Social Department of the UOC published a video on its Telegram channel, in which Olena, a pensioner who moved with her family from Kramatorsk to Kyiv, talks about the difficulties her family faced.
Today she lives modestly but says she does not want to leave Ukraine.
Earlier, the UOJ wrote that the Social Department of the UOC reported on the aid provided during 1000 days of war.
