Texas Baptist Men Send Volunteers to Help Ukrainian Refugees --
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.
"They are coming into Poland tired; emotionally, physically, spiritually exhausted," Hall said."They barely speak, and when they do, it's in a whisper." Hall said TBM volunteers will be cleaning, repairing anything that needs it, sorting through donations, setting up beds, doing laundry; anything that needs to be done to keep the shelter running smoothly, while helping support Polish volunteers.
