The Ukrainian Relief collection of materials is closed

New Haven CT Ukrainian American Humanitarian Aid Fund, Inc.

Our Collection Center is now CLOSED.

Our final shipment was sent off to Ukraine on November 9, 2024. We will no longer be collecting medical supplies, medical equipment and personal humanitarian aid items to be shipped over to Ukraine.

We are, however, continuing to accept monetary donations. Rather than spending thousands of dollars on shipping costs, we will be transferring the money that is collected from our account to Father Roman Manulyak’s Heart of the Samaritan account in Ukraine. Father Roman will be providing us with a prioritized list of things that he intends to purchase in Ukraine or Poland that will be distributed to the medical facilities and community centers that have requested the specified items on his list. We will be able to send him the money that we would have to pay for shipping which amounts to THOUSANDS of dollars. That way, he will be able to buy MUCH MORE of what is actually needed.

Please pick up one or more of our Information sheets to find out how you can contribute to our Fund. Copies of this information sheet can be found in the Credit Union, St. Michael the Archangel Ukrainian Catholic Church, and the church hall.

ALL of the donated money will now go directly to Father Roman for the reasons stated previously.

Postponement of packing Saturday, October 5

As things would have it, after sending this morning’s email about Saturday packing the trailer, we received word that we have to postpone the truck packing. I am sorry for the inconvenience.

Carl, Myron and Chris have made the following decision.

“After checking the weather forecast for next Saturday and hearing in the news this morning that the International Longshoremans Union (ILU) has scheduled a strike at all East Coast ports to begin tonight at midnight, [we] decided to CANCEL the loading of the trailer truck this Saturday.

We will have to reschedule it for a later date which will be after the ILU has settled the strike.

The one-and-only CONSTANT in nature and life is CHANGE. We just have to “go with the flow.”

Helping Ukraine

The current request from Fr. Roman as of 6-18-2024 is for money that will enable him to purchase urgently needed medications and surgical masks for medical staff at 2 hospitals in the Lviv region and medical facilities near the battlefields at the frontlines in Eastern Ukraine.

The specific items that we can provide are disposable undergarments for adults and pampers for Children, white sheets, pillowcases and disposable pads to put between the sheets and mattress on hospital beds, medical grade gloves (all sizes), crutches, wheelchairs, electric wheelchairs and walkers.

We are also sending over winter clothing for adults and children.

The Collection Center at St. Michael Ukrainian Catholic Church at 569 George St., New Haven, CT will be open to receive donations on Tuesdays (4-7PM) and Sundays (11:30-12PM).
