Crates for Ukraine 3.0: Calling All Churches, Youth Groups, and Galvanizers (VIDEO)

By Tom Mills, Sep 12, 2023

It’s been just over a year and a half since the Russian invasion that launched the war in Ukraine. The Church has responded generously by giving materially, financially, and spiritually. You responded to Crates for Ukraine, the first and second iterations, by over 62 tons of aid, valued at over $3 million. All of those crates pass through the Lviv aid warehouse, where it is unpacked and sorted by a team from the local church. The crates are then sent to the greatest areas of needs on the front lines.

The MTW Ukraine crisis team is getting more requests for medical kits, tourniquets, vitamins, and winter wear right now than any other time in the war. We saw a generous response to the second Crates for Ukraine effort, but that aid is running out. Because of that, this fall, MTW Ukraine is launching Crates for Ukraine 3.0.

We're calling on all churches, youth groups, and anyone who can galvanize a group to help in this effort. In this third iteration, you’ll see prescribed lists for three types of crates. You simply buy what's on the list, pack it in the crate, drop it off locally, and then the crisis team will get it to Ukraine and match it with the greatest needs.

Thank you for your amazing efforts in providing vital and significant aid to the Ukrainian people. We ask that you please pray and give and spread the word so that we might continue to give aid to those who are in their darkest hour. Please consider sharing this video with your community.
