As US prepares to accept up to 100,000 Ukrainian refugees, existing communities in cities such as Sacramento and Seattle are already mobilising to provide food, shelter and support
Women and children account for 90 percent of the more than 4 million people who have already fled Ukraine.
“No refugee is waiting for you to be ready for them," said Eduard Kislyanka, senior pastor at the House of Bread church near Sacramento, which has been sending teams of people to Poland and preparing dozens of its member families to house people arriving in California. Many who reach the United States will likely go to cities that already have strong Ukrainian communities.'Every door is open'
Kislyanka called the church's actions a “stop gap" measure designed to help as people await more clarity about the formal government resettlement process. Beyond the dozens of Slavic churches in the Sacramento region, there are schools that serve mainly Ukrainian and Russian students.
