March 28, 2023 – First Christian Church, along with The Community Foundation of Macon County will be holding a fundraiser to support “Hope from the Heartland”, helping the refugees of Ukraine on April 22nd.

A year after the Russian Invasion of Ukraine, over 13 million refugees have been displaced. That is a third of the country’s population. The invasion caused Europe’s largest refugee crisis since World War II and its aftermath and is the largest refugee crisis of the 21st century. Hope from the Heartland provides life-saving relief straight from our community to those who have lost everything.

The event will be held April 22nd at the Decatur Club. Doors will open at 6pm and the program will begin at 7:30. There will be a silent auction as well as appetizers and a cash bar. All donations are tax-deductible.

If you would like to attend, RSVP to nbeck@maconcountygives.org by April 17th. You can also give online HERE.

In addition, there will be a radio telethon on Tuesday, May 2nd from 6-9 am on Byers & Co for another chance to give. More details will be available at a later date.
