Providing a place of safety and refuge for Ukrainian refugees.

Why are we in Ukraine?   What are we doing to help?
 

In May of 2022, Loren Kennedy, the founder of Sanctuary Relief,
travelled to Eastern Ukraine to see how he could help. After travelling across the country, distributing food, and praying with the Ukrainian people, he returned to his home in Franklin, North Carolina.

 

This first trip inspired him to
raise more funds to help feed thousands of more people with hand delivered food boxes and to purchase desperately needed medical supplies.  Loren will return for his eleventh trip in April, 2026 for 2 months.  He has been on the ground for five hundred days of the first four years of this  brutal war.
