For one refugee, this is a taste of home 🥟

💙💛 Delicious Ukrainian recipe inside: [3x MATCH ACTIVE]( [International Rescue Committee logo.]( We know inboxes are full of messages asking for donations today — including from us — to respond to urgent needs around the world. But as a small sign of our appreciation for you, we wanted to take a short break and share [this video]( showing how familiar foods help one refugee feel more connected to home this holiday season. {NAME}, Food can be a powerful reminder of home. It could be a special holiday cookie recipe passed down for generations, a breakfast taco from the cart on the corner, or soup exactly the way your grandmother made it when you were sick. For Valentyna, a refugee and mother of two from Ukraine, making varenyky provides a taste of home. The half-moon shaped dumplings remind her of her mother and grandmother, who also used to make them. Valentyna shares her recipe in this video. [I hope you'll watch and maybe even make your own varenyky! »]( [Varenykys]( [WATCH NOW »]( At this time of year, we are so grateful for all that you do to help provide children and families a sense of safety, comfort, and home.
