Online Donations in Support of Ukraine

The bishops of the Metropolia of Philadelphia have created a special fund entitled: “War Victims and Humanitarian Crisis in Ukraine”. The fund can be accessed through the website of the Archeparchy of Philadelphia: https://ukrarcheparchy.us/donate.

Two other avenues of providing aid have been offered by the Ukrainian Congress Committee. They can be accessed at the following websites: https://www.gofundme.com/f/humanitarian-aid-to-victims-of-war-in-ukraine and https://www.mightycause.com/story/M1wzpf. They are safe and reliable and through them we are confident that the financial aid will be directed to where it is needed most.

Many thanks to Bohdan & Mykola Yaremko of SpeedPro of Long Island City
for designing and donating the banners and Irene Andreadis for coordinating this project.
