Feed the Hungry Partners with many local Pastors to distribute food and urgent help to those who have been displaced or in need

Since the outbreak of war, Feed The Hungry has been a steadfast source of support for Ukrainian families facing immense hardship. Through a network of local churches and humanitarian partners, food aid is reaching those most in need, including displaced families, the elderly, and those living near the frontlines.

From remote villages to major cities, these meals have been a lifeline, ensuring that vulnerable families do not go hungry.

Thanks to your generosity, local Pastors in Ukraine are distributing food parcels to those in need, including those close to the front line, the elderly, disabled and single mothers. Each parcel contains food essentials that will last up to three weeks for only $20.

“Your help has a deep meaning for these heavily tested people. They were touched to hear that the money is given by ordinary people who give up a few dollars or even hundreds to help their brothers and sisters in need. They Praised Jesus, they blessed us and gave thanks. This was moving. We thank you on their behalf for your generosity.”

 

About Ukraine

The war in Ukraine continues to take a devastating toll, leaving millions displaced and struggling to survive. One in four Ukrainians has been forced to flee their homes, and many who remain face ongoing food shortages, limited access to healthcare, and the harsh realities of a war-torn landscape. As global attention shifts, aid is becoming less certain, and many families are left wondering what the future holds.

With critical infrastructure damaged or destroyed, communities near the frontlines are particularly vulnerable. Grocery stores have closed, heating supplies are scarce, and winter brings additional hardship. Despite these challenges, local churches and humanitarian groups are working tirelessly to provide food and relief to those in desperate need. Demand is overwhelming, and ongoing support is essential to ensure that no one is left behind.
