Ukraine Flag
people of Ukraine re going well. The group, called Antigonish Community Ukrainian Relief Effort was formed earlier this month. It’s goal is to raise $25,000; matching what the Town and County of Antigonish and St. FX University committed to the cause. One of the organizers of the group, Clarence Deyoung, says it has reached 80 per cent of its goal.
All money raised will go to the Canadian Red Cross. Deyoung says the Red Cross has assured them all contributions will be sent to Ukraine for life-saving aid to people in need.
