Archdiocesan Charity in Kosice (ADCH) actively responded to the situation, which arose as a result of the military conflict in Ukraine. In the housing services of crisis intervention ADCH allocated part of the premises for temporary residence of 50 refugees. Social advisors consulted and directed refugees to humanitarian aid, helped to find suitable accommodation and helped with the most basic necessities of life. In collaboration with local parishes and partner organizations, ADCH announced the humanitarian collection of durable products, medicines and essentials. Later employees and volunteers distributed those among families and individuals, who left their homes because of war.
Employees and volunteers of ADCH helped near Slovakian-Ukrainian borders continuously since the arrival of the first Ukrainian refugees. The constant work of ADCH was at the border crossings Ublya and Veljke Selmentse. 50 staff employees and 311 volunteers joined this activity and worked 5 980 volunteer hours. Their job was done at the border crossings Ublya and Veljke Selmentse, at the First Contact Centre in Kosice and humanitarian aid. Thanks for the support.
