PAC spearheads Fund Drive to help

In this inconceivable moment in our history, we are appealing for your help for Ukraine!

Let us open our hearts to those whose lives have been suddenly shattered by the tragedy of war.

Helping refugees requires the involvement of enormous human resources and immeasurable support.

We appeal to the members of the Polish American community and the community at-large for compassion, goodwill and specifically, financial aid.

Be a part of a greater action of solidarity with Ukraine and join the fundraising campaign organized by the Polish American Congress.

“The measure of your humanity is the magnitude of your concern for another human being.”

Rev. Mieczysław Maliński

W tej nadzwyczajnej dla świata chwili wołamy o Twoją pomoc dla Ukrainy!

Otwórzmy serca dla Tych, których życie runęło nagle w wojennych gruzach.

Pomoc dla uchodźców wymaga zaangażowania ogromnych sił ludzkich i wsparcia materialnego.

Apelujemy do członków polonijnej społeczności, o Waszą wrażliwość, dobrą wolę i konkretną pomoc finansową.

Bądź częścią wielkiej akcji solidarności z Ukrainą i dołącz do zbiórki funduszy, organizowanej przez Kongres Polonii Amerykańskiej.

„Miarą Twojego człowieczeństwa jest wielkość Twojej troski o drugiego człowieka”.
