On Monday, June 27th, more than 28 palettes of food left a Convoy of Hope warehouse in Missouri and began a journey more than 5,000 miles long. The food, purchased through a $1 million donation from generous Salvation Army World Service Office donors, will relieve some of the significant food insecurity that has come about since the start of the Ukrainian crisis in February.

Convoy of Hope's International Disaster Services team also immediately deployed to Poland in February and began working with Polish, Ukrainian, and Romanian partners to set up a supply chain network to send relief supplies into Ukraine. That network, partnered with The Salvation Army's community investment, was a perfect match.

The Salvation Army has continued to house, feed, and provide hygiene supplies and other basic life necessities, as well as medical assistance and spiritual guidance to many of the millions of refugees fleeing Ukraine.

Perhaps the biggest area of need continues to be food insecurity across the region as more than 10 million people have been displaced since this crisis began.
