IN LATE FEBRUARY 2022, RAZOM VOLUNTEERS QUICKLY REALIZED THERE WOULD BE A NEED TO SUPPORT A WAVE OF DISPLACED UKRAINIANS (DUs) TO THE UNITED STATES.
To respond to this reality, Razom partnered with Ukrainian Jersey City and started providing assistance to newly arriving displaced Ukrainians on both sides of the Hudson River. At the time, there was a lot of uncertainty pertaining to the immigration solution for newly arriving DUs and whether they could qualify for any assistance in the US. Razom promoted, hosted, and facilitated multiple immigration webinars, legal clinics, distribution events (clothing, food and hygiene) and medical clinics that provide DUs with daily necessities and the most up to date information that they needed.
While the war on Ukraine continues, so does Razom’s commitment to helping Ukrainians who arrive in New York because of it. Today, we offer help to newly arrived immigrants via this online informational hub and invite you to take advantage of its resources.
