Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is heartbreaking. The conflict has had a major impact on global security and the economy. While we are a world away from the devastation of what is taking place in this country, there are small ways that we can help the people of Ukraine.

• The best way to help those in Ukraine is to donate to charities who can quickly and efficiently allocate funds to those living in Ukraine. Donating goods such as foods and blankets are not the best because it is difficult to get them to the people in Ukraine. A list of charities included:
  • UNICEF USA
  • AMERICARES
  • INTERNATIONAL RELIEF TEAM
