Ten volunteers with Texas Baptist Men are on their way to Poland and Romania to offer help to those displaced by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Texas Baptist Men volunteers will support their Polish and Romanian counterparts. They will clean or repair anything that needs it, set up beds, sort through donations...whatever it takes to keep the refugee shelters running smoothly.
"I've never seen anything like this," said John Hall with Texas Baptist Men told NBCDFW.com
He recently returned to North Texas from Chelm, Poland, where TBM has partnered with a small church to volunteer at a shelter about 15 miles from the Ukrainian border.
"It is both the most difficult trip I've ever been on, and yet, it has also been the most inspiring and challenging thing I've ever seen," he said.
Hall said about 200 Ukrainian refugees, most of them women and children, stay at the church in Chelm each night. It is one of five shelters in Poland that the TBM has partnered with to help.
