WAYS TO GET HELP AND GIVE HOPE
The Ukranian crisis will endure far beyond the war.
The Russian attack has caused the displacement of millions of people from their homes and marked the onset of what could be the largest humanitarian crisis across Europe in decades. Members of the Ukraine community are grappling with how to receive support and find a new home, even if temporary housing, until it is safe to return to Ukraine.
The United States has offered to accept 100,000 Ukraine Refugees into the United States in the near future and will need support from many entities, including nonprofits.
Rise and Share's intention for this page is to provide resources for refugees and thise who want to support them in New Jersey and beyond. Check this page often as resources are implemented and posted.
