I don't know what part of the country you're in, so it might make a difference. But here in Pittsburgh, we have a couple of Ukrainian churches (I believe they're Eastern Orthodox) and they offer welcoming support for Ukrainian newcomers. They can help refugees/immigrants with language barriers, explaining our "ways" so newcomers get acquainted etc.

If you have an Eastern Orthodox or Russian Orthodox church nearby, you might contact them to see whether they offer welcoming services that your visitors would appreciate. God bless you for your generosity!
