Dear Friend,
Over the past year, the war in Ukraine has displaced millions of people within the country, across Europe, and beyond. Humanitarian need continues to grow as Ukrainian families flee their homes and try to rebuild their lives. And it is just one of several regions where AFSC is responding with support from caring people like you.
Join the challenge: Make a gift to AFSC’s Refugee Response Fund by June 30, and your gift will be matched up to $100,000.

We are partnering with local groups in Europe to fund essential work to assist Ukrainian refugees and internally displaced people. Our partners include the Central European Gathering of Friends Funding for Ukraine Group, Tallinn Worship Group, and the Ukraine Women’s Fund. Together we’re meeting urgent needs, assisting with temporary housing, offering skills training, and more.
And our work doesn’t end in Ukraine. Your gift today supports earthquake survivors in Turkey and Syria, migrants in Central America, people affected by drought in Somalia, people seeking asylum in the U.S., and more.
When you make a gift to AFSC’s Refugee Response Fund, you help refugees and displaced people around the world.
