This program provides access to critical resources, including housing, employment, education, and cultural integration, empowering families to rebuild their lives and establish a sense of belonging in their new community.

Триваючий конфлікт в Україні змусив тисячі сімей залишити свої домівки, шукаючи притулку в сусідніх країнах та за їх межами. Серед них є діти та родини, які несуть тягар невизначеності, втрат та викликів, пов’язаних із відбудовою життя далеко від дому.
Bend for Ukraine — це громадська ініціатива, спрямована на підтримку переміщених українських сімей під час їхнього переселення до Центрального Орегону. Ця програма надає доступ до життєво важливих ресурсів, включаючи житло, працевлаштування, освіту та культурну інтеграцію, допомагаючи родинам відновити своє життя та знайти відчуття приналежності в новій громаді.
Зосереджуючи увагу на стійкості та добробуті, Bend for Ukraine підкреслює важливість мистецтва, активного відпочинку та освітніх програм для дітей. Ці ініціативи допомагають подолати травми переселення, надихають надію та сприяють зціленню та зростанню.
Підтримувана щедрістю волонтерів, місцевих організацій та співчутливих членів громади, Bend for Ukraine є маяком солідарності та співчуття. Вона демонструє силу колективних дій для створення світлішого та більш інклюзивного майбутнього.
