Currently UUARC is raising funds to provide humanitarian aid to the victims of war in Ukraine after further invasion of Russia onto Ukrainian soil and conflict escalation.
With millions of victims in Ukraine, UUARC is fundraising to provide vital medical supplies to victims, care for the injured and refugees, as well as shelter and food to those affected.
UUARC is working closely with UCCA, UWC, and the Ukrainian Embassy in the coordination of aid.

Since the beginning of the program in October 2014, through October 2017, 361 sponsors have adopted and helped 591 wounded soldiers. Please consider becoming a sponsor or renewing your sponsorship.
Update June 2022:
Due to the war in Ukraine and for the safety and security of our soldiers no names or phone numbers will be given to the sponsors of the Wounded Soldiers Program. Please be assured that your donations will be helping all the wounded soldiers.
As a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, hospitals there are filled with soldiers who fought valiantly for their country’s freedom, and are now suffering from devastating injuries incurred during this war. The number of wounded is constantly increasing; now is the time to show them that they are not forgotten and abandoned.
That is why we are appealing to all those who care to contribute as much as possible toward the healing of these brave freedom-fighters. It is only with your help that our heroes can be assured of all necessary services in order for them to recover and rebuild their lives.
Let us show our Ukrainian heroes that we truly value and appreciate their selfless sacrifices. For $25 monthly installments (or a one-time $300 annual gift), we can help a wounded soldier pay for medical equipment, medicine, clothing, food, and other necessities. Upon request, UUARC will provide donors with the name and address of the soldier whom they are aiding.
Give these families hope! Give them the sense of not being alone!
For the past seventy-two years, UUARC has been helping and responding to the needs of Ukrainian people everywhere. Unfortunately, Ukraine's freedom has been threatened again. To protect it, many have died or been injured and many families have suffered.
UUARC has responded by initiating a relief program entitled Family-to-Family designed specifically to help the many families that lost hope for a brighter future. They lost their homes, their possessions, but most importantly, their loved ones. Those victimized include widows, fatherless children, elderly parents and grandparents.
Family-to-Family is dedicated to building a better future for Ukrainian orphaned children who lost their parents as a result of the Russian aggression in Ukraine, and connecting all those worldwide seeking to help them with target donations with a personal approach.
