Since 2009, our chaplaincy has been a strategic force in hospitals, prisons, and on the "zero line." It is a ministry of presence, bringing hope where it is needed most.
Mission Trips: 90+ missions to the front, delivering 58 vehicles, medical supplies, and Bibles.
Spiritual Fruit: Hundreds of soldiers have found the Messiah in trenches and hospitals. Chaplains have also provided ongoing care and conducted over 120 military funerals.
State Recognition: In 2023, 4 members were awarded by President Zelensky, and 12 chaplains received honors from the Minister of Defense. We are proud to have the first officially commissioned Jewish chaplain in the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
We don't just serve on the front; we help heroes return to life:
Social Care: Excursions, sports, and creative workshops help soldiers reintegrate.
Events like the "Being Near" festival (500 participants) and "Evenings of Gratitude" bridge the gap between the military and society.
While our Ukrainian team serves on the ground, our branches in the USA and Europe host charity events to fund these life-saving missions. Your support helps these families find renewed hope.

Since the beginning of the war, our union has distributed and delivered 2000 tons of humanitarian aid all across Ukraine. These include food, medicine, clothing and other essentials for those in difficult circumstances.
We have distributed thousands of food packages, clothing, and hundreds of medical kits.
Volunteers from Kyiv delivered humanitarian aid and medicine to de-occupied cities (Irpin, Bucha, Hostomel, and others) and frontline areas.
At the beginning of the war, together with the Kyiv City Administration, KJMC volunteers helped evacuate over 900 children.
We assisted more than 400 people in crossing the border and finding homes in other countries.
Even before the war, our ministers were already preparing weekly hot meals for the homeless and those in need. But it was never just about food—we also shared God’s word, His love, and the power of prayer with each person we met.
With the outbreak of war, the need for help and hope grew like never before. Over the past year alone, we have delivered over 90 hot meals per week, provided warm clothing to those who lost everything, listened to their pain, offering comfort and encouragement, and most precious of all — some hearts opened to God in a prayer of repentance.
In KJMC Berdychiv, the ministry "Ludy Poruch" feeds around 240 people weekly, including delivering food to Jewish people with disabilities. Recently, they also launched a charity laundry.
“Echad” is a ministry for children from crisis families under the care of the congregationin Kyiv. It started during the COVID-19 pandemic and now fully provides for about 60 children. These children not only witness the congregation as a true example of God's family transforming their lives, but they also take part in ministry. Through this, their parents also learn about God, and some have even reconciled with the Lord.
Also, our congregations in Zaporizhzhia and Vinnytsia help a few orphanages.
Vinnitsya made a camp for those people in 2025. Camp welcomed 38 children from military families, low-income households, or at-risk backgrounds, and internally displaced. About 85% were from non-believing families. By the end of camp, half of the children said they had not believed God was real — but now they pray to Him and even invite their parents to pray at home. The final evening became a spontaneous time of heartfelt worship, filled with the presence of the Holy Spirit.
Caring for the elderly is deeply rooted in Jewish tradition. Since the war in Ukraine began, many elderly people have become especially vulnerable—living alone, facing poverty, isolation, power outages, ongoing shelling, and the trauma of war.
We serve vulnerable Jewish seniors and others in need through practical assistance, humanitarian aid, and spiritual support. We also invite them into home and prayer groups, where they find hope, community, and encouragement.
The Jewish people are richly gifted with talent and potential, yet without a strong support system, some may fall into addictions while seeking relief from life's hardships. That’s why our congregation operates three rehabilitation centers, offering a path to freedom, renewal, and hope.
Through these centers, countless lives have been restored—people who once felt lost have found new purpose, healing, and strength. Many who have been transformed now stand as a source of support for others, guiding them on their own journeys toward restoration.
The war has forced thousands of Ukrainians to leave their homes, facing loss, pain, and uncertainty. In response, the our congregations hosted the “Beyond Disaster” and “Lessons of Faith” courses. These programs offered professional support and a safe space to share, heal, and build new friendships.
More than 645 people participated only in Kyiv. Many regained strength and purpose, and some later joined our congregational workshops, finding belonging and renewal.
