On Thursday 24th February 2022 Russia launched an invasion of Ukraine that has resulted in over a hundred people being killed, hundreds injured and more than 120,000 people fleeing for their lives. Lions Clubs are looking for donations for their Refugees and Displaced Persons fund.

Lions are now working with leadership in each country receiving these displaced people to develop a project plan for Lions Club International Fund (LCIF) to support Lion-led distribution of immediate needs. Care packages will include food, water, hygiene items, and clothing.

After these initial grants, LCIF will continue to work with other Lions in the adjacent and surrounding countries to evaluate needs, and the potential for Lions to help.
