JFS Delaware's Statement on Ukraine:
As we watch tragic events unfold in the Ukraine, our hearts are heavy. Over 3 million people have fled the country with nothing more than the clothes on their backs and their children in tow. As the leading refugee resettlement agency in the state, JFS is in close contact with our state leaders, national resettlement partner agencies, and the local Ukrainian community—our team is ready to support families should they be allocated to arrive in Delaware.
Since the war in Ukraine began, JFS has received many calls asking us how you can help—you have offered your homes, clothes, and so much more and we are inspired by your generosity. We will continue to keep our community updated on how you can help locally. In the meantime, please refer to the following sources for information and ways to help.
