Together we impact and make a difference
Our top priority is to provide physical and psychological assistance to those Ukrainians who, as a result of the Russian invasion, were forced to flee their homes and seek refuge in Michigan. Together with you, we can create a safe and flourishing community for New Americans and Michiganders alike.
