The majority of Chelm residents help in some way, whether it is making food, donating supplies or giving money. One property owner who rents apartments on Airbnb says he reserved all his properties for refugees, turning away tourists or other visitors. Utility companies cover electricity and water for refugee residences. Cellphone stores in Chelm offer free power banks for charging devices, along with Polish SIM cards with free data and calling minutes.
