It’s easy to feel like there is nothing you can do when terrible international tragedies happen, such as the war in Ukraine. But there are actually two things you can do, according to Operation Transformation, which connects people to resources in the Blue Water Area.
The first is to pray for peace and the second is to donate to help those who are suffering. The Port Huron non-profit is acting as a clearinghouse for donations to two organizations that have been vetted for trustworthiness in helping the people of Ukraine: Samaritan’s Purse and Making Impact Right Away. Donations can be sent to Operation Transformation or donated directly to the charities.
Samaritan’s Purse has a field hospital and two medical clinics in Ukraine and is working with a network of thousands of churches. They already have an established network where they had been distributing Operation Christmas shoeboxes.
Making Impact Right Away, a division of Christ for the Nations, is currently in Ukraine and is distributing food, medicine, generators, and building supplies to those in the country and fuel, clothing, and humanitarian needs to those who are fleeing the violence.
