Ukrainian Relief Project New Haven Update for March 26

On Friday, March 25, Carl Harvey (one of the coordinators of the Ukrainian Relief Project) was in Danbury meeting with people who are helping the Ukrainian Relief Project.

Here’s Carl Harvey’s review of Friday:

“Ihor Rudko, our UAV National Commander, CT Commissioner of Veterans Affairs and I met with the owners of a Plumbing company in Danbury this morning at 11:30. They have 6 pallets of humanitarian aid that they collected last weekend that will be coming to New Haven tomorrow (TODAY, Saturday, March 26). We also visited St. Joseph’s Catholic School in Danbury where we met with the Grade 5 and 6 students, their teachers and Principal plus Governor Lamont, the Mayor of Danbury and the state representative.

“They have collected all of the kinds of items that children in Ukraine need and packed them in a knapsack. They also included a personal note in the knapsack that they have donated.

“It is NO exaggeration when I tell you that there are at least 800 plus knapsacks in piles in this very large assembly room. It is a PHENOMENAL sight to behold. It is going to require a 40 foot container to transport all of it to a specific church in Poland to help the Ukrainian refugees that have arrived in the town where this church is located close to the border. Chris Komody and I have already discussed how we will proceed to get this shipment over there.

“We will also be getting a container from Eagle Leasing tomorrow morning (TODAY) to store the boxes that we already have and ready to ship.”

Thank you for your continued interest and generous work for our Ukrainian sisters and brothers.

In friendship, let’s keep all in prayer.

Ways to Give to the Humanitarian Relief Project New Haven

Dear Friends,

Some of you have asked about the ways to give. Here’s the financial ways and then there’s the volunteering ways. Come Saturday to help. More info to follow.

We ask for your support first and foremost in prayer, asking Our Lord to keep us on the right track. Rather than seeing this as fundraising, we believe God has always provided the sustenance needed to continue this humanitarian mission. Both the Ukrainian American Veterans and Knights of Columbus are non-profit, tax exempt organizations. Donations are tax-deductable. Should the Holy Spirit move you to offer assistance in feeding our sheep (literally), you can donate online (https://givesendgo.com/G2ZXR) or we can accept checks made payable to the following organizations (see below).

God bless you for your generosity.

Donations for the Ukrainian Relief Project

The donations for humanitarian aid and for the soldiers continue to arrive.  And we expect more to arrive in the days and weeks ahead. Thanks be to God.

A truck of medical supplies is leaving tomorrow (God willing) by truck to the greater Philadelphia/New Jersey area. I know that some aid is going for free, but the bulk of it costs good money to ship. For example, the cost per pound to get to  its destination in Ukraine is approximately $2.30. That adds up to a lot of dollars per box.

We are in the process of setting up a GoFundMe page but that will take a few days with all the paperwork. In the meantime, if you would like to send a check, please send it:

Or, you can wait until the GoFundMe page (hopefully soon).

Thank you very kindly for your support.

Ukrainian Relief Project –UPDATE for March 7, 2022

Today we received your generosity with an open and grateful heart for the people of Ukraine. As you can see from the pictures attached here you can see abundance.

We are very thankful to all the people who made donations during these couple days.

We even didn’t expect so many people will respond and consequently we are trying our best to organize ourselves to move the gifts on to Ukraine.

For the moment, we are stopping collecting donations.

However, we still to collect First Aid supplies, aspirin, Tylenol, and saline solution.

There is an expense with shipping all of these things and we are gratefully accepting monetary gifts, no amount is too small! The money collected will go to the packing and shipping.

Stay tuned as to when we accept humanitarian aid.

May the Lord of Life reward you!!!!!

Sunday note to benefactors on the Ukrainian Relief efforts

Many thanks to those of you who generously gave of time and talent and humor today to assist the cause of helping the Ukrainian soldiers. The whole experience was a testament to the beauty of humanity. Thank you!

The church hall will be open for these times this week:

Monday and Tuesday: 5-7 p.m.
Saturdays: 10am-2 p.m.
Sundays: Noon -1:30 p.m.

This week the priority is to box up as much as possible to send to the shipping company.

****An official with the Ukrainian Veterans identified today a critical need: wheelchairs. So, at least for this week, we are looking for wheelchairs.

As a sign of hope in darkness, place one (1) electric candle in the window of your home, and be sure to have it lit each night for the duration of the war. The one candle will show our solidarity with the everyone in Ukraine. This is a sign of our hope and expectation for peace.

To me, all of you are a witness to hope.
