As the conflict continues and we begin to grasp the full scope of the humanitarian
crisis, I encourage you to support each other and if you can, offer your financial
assistance to the various relief agencies that are responding in Ukraine. Chancellor
Eloy Oakley included a helpful list of relief agencies in his recent message about
the conflict in Ukraine.
Wishes for peace and healing,
Sincerely,
