IOCC,update

Please continue praying for everyone affected by the crisis in Ukraine, and for the teams who are serving them on the ground.

Partners in Response

With long-standing relationships in the region, including in Romania and Moldova, IOCC has mobilized to serve people affected by the crisis in Ukraine.

As refugees flee Ukraine—mostly elderly persons, people with disabilities, and women with infants and young children—and enter neighboring countries, IOCC is working with local partners to make sure their needs are met.

While word on the ground in Romania and Moldova is that even the most basic items—like food, water, and milk products—are in short supply in shops, IOCC and its partners there are purchasing items in bulk and distributing them to people in need.

You can support our work today, and together we can help Ukrainians who have fled receive necessities.






Your Love in Action


Even as Christ faced his own death, he called His followers to serve Him by helping others: “I was hungry and you gave Me food. I was thirsty and you gave Me drink” (Matt. 25:35). Dedicated supporters like you have answered this call, and we see your faith in action every day through the work you’ve made possible.

As a small token of thanks, we’d like to offer you some resources to support you in your Lenten journey of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Each week between now and Pascha, we'll be sharing stories of how you've reached someone in need through IOCC, with fast-friendly recipes to accompany your faith in action. And each Friday, we’ll share a spiritual reflection from this year’s Lenten collection.

You can find these resources and more at iocc.org/lent, with everything you need for a fruitful and peaceful Lent. Thank you for supporting IOCC and continuing to serve Christ through serving others.
