Funds raised will be directed to agencies, such as those listed above, that are working to help local evacuees get settled.  We are all working collaboratively, with Rotary raising funds, and the agencies providing local on-the-ground assistance. This collaboration is an efficient and effective use of both financial resources and expertise.  We know the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.  Together we can make a very significant difference to our newest community members from the Ukraine.

Proceeds will be dedicated to essential living costs such as:

• Medical/health tests, exams, medication not covered by AHS.
• Housing costs that would not be covered by another agency.
• Emergency clothing not available through donations and second-hand resources.
• Public transportation for doctor’s visits, work appointments and interviews.
• Expenses for care and support of children as needed, particularly as parents secure their initial job and need child care in order to work.
• Donation of new and much-needed household and personal items.
• Items for younger children such as diapers, blankets, and other infant/toddler supplies.
