Support for Ukraine

In response to the ongoing crisis in Ukraine, Reality SF is partnering with several relief providers to offer financial and prayer support.

As a church, Reality has financially contributed towards an evacuation vehicle and operating expenses, a van to bring life-saving aid, and two tons of emergency supplies. Read below to learn more about these impactful efforts, how you can support our partners, and specific requests for prayer.

Evacuation Efforts

Reality SF is partnering with House of Bread Church, who have volunteer-run evacuation networks on the ground in Ukraine. House of Bread partners with these volunteers to provide funding for their fleet of mini-buses and to cover day-to-day operational expenses.

If you would like to financially support these efforts, we encourage you to donate directly through House of Bread at the link below.

Currently, one of the most urgent needs in Ukraine is evacuating civilians from war-zone hotspots. Despite the significant risks, Ukrainian volunteers are evacuating people to safety on a daily basis, all while navigating dangerous routes.

For evacuation updates and news, follow House of Bread’s efforts on Instagram. If you would like more information on the evacuation fund and how donations have been utilized so far, we encourage you to read this post.

Providing Aid Through Local Churches

Through Revival Baptist Church, Reality is connected to a network of local churches – including Polonne Church – in Ukraine to provide shelter, food, and critical aid to Ukrainians who have fled their homes and to those who are sheltering in nearby conflict zones.

To support these local churches, donate directly through Revival Baptist Church at the link below.

An estimated 12 million people in Ukraine are currently displaced – having fled their homes and towns to other areas of the country, another 13 million are stranded in conflict zones, and all of these people lack access to basic necessities. In response, local churches have been providing shelter and life-saving aid.

Reality has partnered with some of these local churches by helping purchase a van to transport emergency supplies to those stranded in war zones. Several churches are also working to build a bakery for refugees to volunteer to bake bread. Once built, these loaves will be delivered to people in bomb shelters and basements where food and other basic necessities are unavailable.

To see how these churches are supporting their communities across Ukraine, we encourage you to watch this video.
