Where We Are Working

Multiple Sites Across The Region

Our teams are serving at transit points, meal services and church-based distribution sites across the region. For the safety and dignity of those being assisted, we do not publish the precise locations of shelter and transit sites.

The Story

Five Weeks On The Ground. Still Serving.

A bottle of water pressed into a tired hand before a bus pulls away. A hot plate of food for a mother who hasn't eaten today. A hygiene pack for a little one who has already been through too much. For the past five weeks, these small moments of care have been repeated over and over — and they are still happening now.

CityHope Disaster Relief has been on the ground responding to the humanitarian needs of foreign nationals affected by the current crisis. Working hand in hand with local Christian churches and partners across the region, our teams have been meeting people at their point of need — on buses, at meal tables and in church halls — with practical care, delivered with dignity.

None of this has happened alone. It has been a genuinely collaborative response: churches opening their doors, partners supplying resources, volunteers giving their time, and donors making it all possible. Together, vulnerable people are being served with compassion and hope — right where they are.

The Need

Families In Transit. Lives Uprooted.

Behind every bus is a story: individuals and families — many with young children — leaving behind homes, work and community with only what they can carry. The journey is long, and basic needs are immediate: water, food, warmth, hygiene and the reassurance that they have not been forgotten.

Local churches across the region have stepped into that gap, caring for documented foreign nationals and refugees within their own communities. Our role is to stand behind them — keeping the supplies flowing so that no congregation has to stop serving because the shelves are empty.
