When crises occur globally you can count on Rotarians to jump in to assist. The most recent crisis in Ukraine is no different. As soon as word came out that the invasion was occurring, Rotarians started asking “How can I help?”.
Members of the Rotary Club of Fonthill have been answering the call for assistance throughout the past few weeks. Many have made donations through the various channels – Rotary Foundation, Canadian Red Cross and the Canadian Ukrainian Foundation. They have also been donating much needed supplies to St John’s Ukrainian Catholic Church in St. Catharines who are operating locally as a central hub for collections.
Recently, Rotarian Mike Taylor, as well as President Ann Harrison, and her husband Michael Hrycusko, have been making trips to the Church Hall to deliver items collected. Rotarian Janet Cripps is working with the E.L. Crossley school community to support a drive to collect items following the school break.
