Housing for Refugees
from Ukraine
Who we are
My name is Michał Włodarczyk, and I am a pastor of ICF Bydgoszcz Church. We’re an evangelical Church in Bydgoszcz (Poland). Since the first day of war, we have been heavily involved in helping refugees. We’ve collected people from the border, organized help for many families, we’ve been giving out food, clothes, and hygienic products every day. Thankfully, those who have found apartments or are living in our homes have been able to send their kids to schools and are finding and starting jobs. But many refugees still don’t have a place to live.
Their stories
Every day people who fled the horrors of war come to us. They seek help but often they need someone who will simply listen to them. The stories they tell paint a picture of trauma, heartbreak, and uncertainty.

One of the obstacles we face is that churches in Poland are not allowed to obtain loans for funding of any sort. Therefore, fundraising has begun.
