The Emmitsburg-[Lutsk] Ukraine Sister City Committee is sponsoring a Pre-Christmas Ukrainian Relief Gift Display on Saturday, Nov. 21, at the Emmitsburg Library, 300 S. Seton Ave., from 10am-11:30 am.
The public is invited to view displays of Giving Opportunities for Ukraine, while partaking in coffee and cookies on offer. Giving Opportunities include Ukrainian art sites and humanitarian relief agencies, charities that support the civilian and military personnel of Ukraine, under attack from Russia since 2014.
Among the nonprofits featured are White Stork, an American veteran-powered supplier of medical relief supplies on the Ukrainian war front; also, World Kitchen, an international food relief organization that provides hot meals to victims of ongoing wars and natural catastrophes; and United Help Ukraine, a Gaithersburg hub for Ukrainian relief and cultural awareness. Also featured are Ukrainian charities that produce artworks and crafts available for purchase through eBay and other online connections.
Also on display are art items for eventual sale from the 57 nations that support Ukraine, including the EU, all of NATO, four Pacific rim countries, five neutral countries, and four micro-states such as Monaco and the Vatican. For more information, call (301) 447-2690.
