It has been several years now that Operation Blessings supports the activity of “New Life” social Center for street children in the town of Nickolayev by providing hot meals for the kids during the day. The staff of the Center offers real home atmosphere, possibility to talk to Christians, to take showers and spend time with other kids and, most importantly, they share their love with the children. Many of them have come to the Center to find love and support they can’t have in their own families.

It has been almost a year since the “Feed the Hungry” project has been working under a new format. Unfortunately, the charity Soup Kitchen sponsored by “Operation Blessing” was closed last April; however, with God’s help we were able to continue the work of the project in a slightly different way. Today many people in the Kiev and Nickolayev regions have a chance to weekly receive food, and more importantly, participate in small group Bible studies at Christian churches. In less than a year we have seen the wonderful fruits of this ministry. Many people who were addicted to alcohol and drugs have come to the Lord and received new life. All the participants of the project are grateful to Operation Blessing for the help given and the new hope they have found.

Since April 2006, the project “Feed the Hungry” sponsored by Operation Blessing in Ukraine started a new format of work. Unfortunately, due to financial reasons, we had to close the Soup Kitchen that had been successfully feeding and warming needy people for more than 8 years. The prices for the hot meals went up and we were not able to help as many people as we did before. But we are sure that God can turn any unfavorable circumstances into the good and we are still doing our best to care for the underprivileged people and share the Gospel of Christ with them.
