What is the general info and overview of Crates For Ukraine (CFU)?
Is Crates For Ukraine (CFU) an MTW/PCA Crisis Response Initiative? Joyfully - yes! The MTW Lviv team, part of MTW Team Ukraine was displaced/split between Krakow and Lviv due to the invasion. This MTW team is receiving and sending aid in connection with the Evangelical Presbyterian Church of Ukraine (EPCU) and to the most needy communities across war-torn Ukraine. MTW hopes to accompany this aid with personal engagement and sowing the seeds of long-term gospel community. Why a courier instead of shipping? 1). Sending crates via a courier meets the urgency and is substantially cheaper than via Fed Ex (UPS, etc.) /shipping containers. 2). Flying with the crates streamlines the customs process as there is virtually no delay for bringing supplies in with a courier, whereas other routes are road-blocked by red tape and lots of paperwork. 3). We avoid custom fees and taxes. |

What is the timeline of CFU and how soon do crates need to be couriered to Krakow?
The need is urgent! Our current timeline is summer 2022. We are PRAYING for God to raise up 200 churches and/or groups to register and courier their crates by August 31. We will assess the needs in Ukraine as the summer goes on and consider at that time if we should extend CFU or revise our supply lists. The sooner you can pack your crates and deliver them to Krakow, the better.

Why not buy aid in Europe?
We are in fact collecting specialized aid in Europe. However, CFU's mission is from the hands of the churches in the U.S. to the hands of our brothers and sisters in Ukraine. Additionally, the items on the CFU lists are cheaper and more readily available in the U.S. than Europe. We have specialized lists of different kinds of aid that is more readily available in Europe (this initiative is being handled separately from CFU).
How do we know the aid is getting where it is needed most in Ukraine?
The distribution of aid in Ukraine is overseen by our Ukrainian pastors and Ukrainian believing community that our MTW teams have had trusted partnerships and relationships for over 30 years. They do a regular assessment of those who are in most need and how to get it to them.
Is it safe to travel to Krakow, Poland as a courier?
Yes. MTW has a team in Krakow including families and young children. Krakow is a modern European city and Poland is a member of the European Union. Krakow is a safe place to visit.
