According to a news release, the St. Michael’s parish family has raised and donated more than $40,000 since the beginning of the war in Ukraine to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA. All the money donated is used to respond to the most basic needs for survival in the most affected areas of Ukraine. Support is given to survivors, wounded, and displaced people. In Kharkiv region, the UOC of the USA continues to provide funding to a group of volunteers who, by risking their lives, daily deliver the most necessary medical and logistical supplies to Kharkiv district elderly residents of destroyed buildings and parts of the city and region. The public can help in this effort by donating at uocofusa.org.
