Overview
Olga's List helps refugees displaced by the war in Ukraine. We provide services, supplies and advice from the time refugees arrive in Massachusetts until they are acclimated to their new homes in America.
We are staffed primarily by volunteers, many of whom are refugees themselves.
We are funded by a grant from the the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR); and by private donations.
