Liubov Alkonova is a representative from Mill Creek Christian Assembly (MCCA) Help Center for Ukrainian Newcomers. The center is a nonprofit organization solely reliant on volunteers, donors, and those that love and are willing to help others in need.

When the war broke out in Ukraine, with permission and support of their pastor, Rev.Yaroslav Kurpita, they opened a center in their church on March 29, 2022. In the beginning, the team of volunteers was around 30 people and grew. The response from the community was unbelievable! In the church, four rooms, the hallway and the large basement were packed with clothing, shoes, school supplies, hygiene, and household items.

Over the last 6 months, MCCA has met more than 1000 newcomers from Ukraine with tears in their eyes, broken hearts, and mostly sad stories to tell. They’ve met hundreds of volunteers, who one way or another, faithfully helped and participated at the center. MCCA has gathered countless amounts of clothing, toys, school supplies, non-perishable food, hygiene products, baby products, quilts and more from generous community members.

MCCA Help Center is a place where one ordinary idea turned into an extraordinary life-changing experience!

“I’m So blessed to be a witness to all of this work! And strongly believe this is how God works in our lives to bring light and relief during these hard times! To God be the glory and Victory to Ukraine.” – Liubov Alkonova
