In the next few weeks, Nimmo Missions Ministry is leading a collections event to support the more than 2 million Ukrainian refugees harboring in Europe and now in North America.
These families, often with small children, left their homes with little more than 1 bag each of belongings to escape the bombing and seizure of their homes. They escaped to neighboring countries that have risen impressively to the challenge of taking them in and keeping them safe.
Nimmo is partnering with the Tidewater Ukrainian School, a non-profit 501-3c charity, to gather small, badly needed first aid items that are needed immediately to support the refugees. We have the ability to gather these small items and Tidewater Ukrainian School has the connections to ensure our support gets to where it is most needed.
The needed items are listed below.

Here, at home, we have continued our Peace Crane Easter project and now have approximately 800 cranes flying in the sanctuary. Each crane either has a written prayer within or was made in a moment of prayer, knowing that the Holy Spirit recognizes the unspoken need…. Many of these cranes already carry prayers for Ukraine, the refugees, the hosting countries and for an end to war.
The list of needed items are:
- First Aid antibiotic ointment
- Emergency Mylar thermal blankets
- Tylenol Extra Strength Acetaminophen 500 mg
- Chewable Pepto Bismol
- Band-Aid Brand absorbent cushion care sterile square, guaze pads for first aid protection of minor cuts.
- Flexible rolled gauze
- Moleskin Foam Padding
- Bleed Stop (any type)
- Vinyl examination gloves 1,000 count, latex free
- BURN GELS OR OINTMENTS (ANY TYPE)
Most items can be found at Walmart in pharmacy aisle or camping aisle
