Personal/Project impact
MCC partner Believing, Hoping, Loving (BHL) received a container of MCC humanitarian relief supplies, including 11,520 cans of chicken, 1,375 handmade comforters, 1,600 hygiene kits, 185 infant care kits, 588 relief kits, 110 school kits and 2,208 tubes of toothpaste. The supplies go to foster families, families who have adopted orphans and internally displaced people in Lviv and Zaporizhzhia.
Project Summary
In the past, MCC shipped containers loaded with material resources to the Ukrainian seaport of Odesa. Since this route was not available because of the conflict in Ukraine, containers were shipped through the port in Rotterdam in the Netherlands. They were then loaded onto trucks which traveled through Germany and Poland to western Ukraine where they were unpacked at the warehouses of MCC partners. Some partners are too close to the front lines to receive something as large as a container. Collaboration between partners enabled the supplies to be loaded onto smaller trucks and delivered to the warehouses more affected by the conflict.
