Food and hygiene boxes distribution

Food and hygiene boxes were given to people living in villages around Odesa and the city of Mykolaiv.

This week, Mission Possible distributed food and hygiene boxes to people living in villages around Odessa. Most villagers have remained due to the lack of funds or connections outside Ukraine. Many are afraid to leave their homes and express that they see no way out; they are concerned about the future. More than half of the villagers have lost their jobs and, therefore, their income. Some have already run out of money and food supplies and are dependent on help.

The situation in Mykolaiv, a city about 80miles east of Odesa, is even worse. We received a request for help from a church there. Because the need was so great, Mission Possible team members Igor and Sasha immediately set off with a bus full of food and hygiene boxes. The trip to Mykolaiv is not without danger, as it is located on the front lines of the conflict.

Here is the message we received from MP team member Liliya last night:

Hello!

Yesterday, Igor and Sasha brought food and hygiene boxes to Mykolaiv. Some of the boxes they handed out themselves, and a large number were dropped off at a church. It is a sad sight: The houses have turned into complete ruins in some streets. People live together with other families in places that are still habitable. The city is constantly being shelled. Fortunately, Igor and Sasha returned safely.

God bless! Liliya

More help is needed!

We see the need only increasing. Our local led team is purchasing food and other necessary supplies through our contacts in Odesa. Supplies are not easy to find, but it's still possible at this time. Buying medicines is a big problem. We have connections with companies that will supply grain, then process it into flour. Volunteers are helping with the transportation and packing of the food and hygiene boxes. Distribution of the boxes in the city of Odesa and other close towns will occur via churches that collect the relief items from the Mission Possible center.

The crisis in Ukraine is changing day by day. The safety of our people comes first. They will assess the conditions daily and determine whether it is still responsible and safe to continue distribution or even stay in Odesa. They have our support and prayers for wisdom in these decisions. We hope and pray that the situation does not worsen.

Each food and hygiene box costs $30 to fill. We have determined that we can supply and deliver 1000 boxes per month for the next four months. In an upcoming post, we will be asking if you can support this effort; we invite you to start praying and consider joining us or encouraging others to get involved. Together we can do more!

If you have already given, thank you, we are grateful to you!

If you want to help out today, share this post with your friends and family, encourage them to get involved and keep praying for the people of Ukraine, Russia, and us. These intense and critical days are turning into weeks and months.

THANK YOU!
