A day after putting a call out on its Facebook page, the London Ukrainian Centre is already collecting tables full of donations to support Ukraine following Russia’s invasion.
The centre announced starting Tuesday it would be open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., accepting donations for humanitarian aid.
First aid kits, feminine hygiene products, canned food and baby food, clothing, and medicine are all in-demand items.
Donations to the centre are being organized and then packaged up to send to Ukraine, but the centre is also accepting monetary donations.
Komoka resident Tetyana Dowson was born in Ukraine and still has family in the Kherson region, which is under attack.
“My mom, my stepdad, my grandmother, my brother, everyone is there at the moment,” she said.
“The news does not even show half of what is going on there it’s really horrible.”
