What does it take to deliver hope in the middle of crisis?

In this powerful episode of Logistics with Purpose®️, we spotlight the life-changing work of Lifting Hands International, a humanitarian organization providing critical aid to displaced communities around the world — with a focused lens on the ongoing crisis in Ukraine.

Join us for an inspiring conversation with Hayley Smith, Founder and Director of Lifting Hands International, and Ihor Tereshchenko, the organization’s Ukraine Director.
