Many of us are looking for ways to help and be in solidarity with the people of the Ukraine. Our elected leaders and national organizations have offered vetted lists of organizations to support. There is also the opportunity to support Minnesota’s local Ukrainian community in their response, as well as the work of the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee. Please see the resources and links below:
