Carteret UNWLA collects toys, clothing and medicines for Ukraine

CARTERET, N.J. - For the second year in a row, Branch 100 of the Ukrainian National Women's League of America has initiated a collection of clothing, toys and medicine for orphanages in Ukraine. Because of very positive response from the local community in Carteret and generous donations from the Self-Reliance Credit Union in Clifton and the Ukrainian Orthodox Credit Union in New York, Branch 100 was able to send 29 packages to orphanages in Vinnytsia, Dnipropetrovsk, Zhytomyr and Kherson. The packages contained clothing, toys, coloring supplies, medicine and books. Pictured above are members of Branch 100 sorting and packing clothing to be sent to Ukraine.
