Here’s how Memphis has Helped Ukraine in the Past Year

Local organizations like World Relief Memphis, 901 Stands with Ukraine and Grace Even have been doing what they can in order to provide aid to Ukrainians.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — One year ago from Saturday, the world woke to news that Russian missiles were hitting Ukraine’s capital city. In many ways, the world changed.

It soon became obvious Russia spectacularly underestimated Ukraine’s will to resist. For over a year now, Ukrainians have been fighting. Over the past year, families have lost loved ones as well as left everything behind to seek refuge outside of their home country.

Here in Memphis, local organizations like World Relief Memphis; 901 Stands with Ukraine and Grace Even have been doing what they can in order to provide aid to Ukrainians.

World Relief Memphis — in partnership with 901 Stands with Ukraine — have recently helped from 40 to 50 Ukrainian refugees in Memphis with the goal of finding work as well as housing for these families.
