Thanks to you, our Chernivtsi kitchen provided 144,000 meals in a single year to people who had almost nothing left. Here is where your gifts went — and where we were going next.
Mission Toretsk
Toretsk sits in Donetsk Oblast, close to the front. Most of its people have left; those who remain are often elderly or have nowhere else to go. With a local church, we opened two kitchens there, each serving around 100 hot meals a day.
Forty homes lacking essential utilities were warmed, and families received winter clothing and bedding.
“Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands.”
Chernivtsi kitchen
At the start of the year our Chernivtsi kitchen was still serving around 1,000 meals every day, with food partly supplied by local charities and international NGOs.
On the road
A Sprinter van bought with your donations made the 750-mile trip from our base in Suceava, Romania, to Toretsk again and again. Partner churches in the Kharkiv, Luhansk and northern Donetsk regions help us reach families we couldn't reach alone.

None of this happens without you. Please keep praying for the families we serve and for safety on every delivery.
