Local Donation Efforts For Ukraine Ongoing
Calls for donations to benefit Ukraine are ongoing in Falmouth and in the greater Cape Cod area.
Susan Johnson, a resident of Pondlet Place, began in March to spread awareness of donation efforts on Cape Cod. Ms. Johnson and other on-Cape collaborators are working with Boston’s Christ The King Ukrainian Catholic Church to coordinate the dropoff of locally collected items at its Jamaica Plain church.
The list of needed items has changed, as the following items cannot be shipped at this time: no baby items (no formula, diapers, or baby food), no clothing, no personal hygiene items, and no food.
The following is a list of some of the items that are being requested by Christ The King Ukrainian Catholic Church as part of the Ukraine Forward initiative. A more extensive list can be found on its website, www.christ-the-king-ucc.org, under the Support For Ukraine tab.
