We wanted to let you know that the Alliance Canada National Ministry Centre (NMC) is set up to receive donations for Ukraine relief through the Alliance Global Emergency Response Fund. Here's a little info on how these funds will be used and how you can give:  

The NMCs first response will be through the national church body, The Church of Christ in Poland. They have a department in the national church called Good Works Mission that will oversee the relief response. Bill Finnemore, a former Alliance International Worker in Poland, is well connected with the leaders there and will be our liaison with this national church. He spoke with the director of the Good Works Mission department today and learned that the national church campground, Ostróda Camp, is currently providing temporary housing for 180 refugees and they are planning to set up shelters for the many more who are pouring into the country. Also, the local churches around Poland are preparing to distribute food and necessary hygiene supplies as a first response.

VAC will remit all gifts designated to the Alliance Global Emergency Response Fund through any of our offering channels. Simply be sure to designate your gift to the "Alliance Global Emergency Response Fund" in your e-transfer notes or on your envelope for cash or cheque gifts. You can also give to this fund via our online giving HERE. The fund is also available through your online giving account if you wish to set up a gift that way.
