The Town of Greenburgh and community members are uniting — to offer support for people and soldiers most affected in Ukraine.
UKRAINE HUMANITARIAN AID – WHERE TO GIVE and reminder-- webinar tonight How to Reduce Con Ed rates.
In the midst of Russia’s rapidly escalating siege of Ukraine, which has already leveled sites in key cities and forced over a million Ukrainians to flee, many soldiers, as well as good innocent people, have already been killed while defending the country.
The Town of Greenburgh and community members are uniting — to offer support for people and soldiers most affected in Ukraine. Given the rapidly evolving situation with needs that keep changing, we believe that giving directly to vetted agencies on the ground might be the most effective and efficient.
We turned to get advice from Jaroslaw Palylyk, President of the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America/Westchester Branch, who recommends the following:
_UCCA (Ukrainian Congress Committee of America) SUMA Yonkers Federal Credit Union account with this link

_UCCA Launches #SupportUkraine Humanitarian Effort: UCCA.org
_Revived Soldiers Ukraine – a non-profit dedicated to providing aid to wounded Ukrainian soldiers - RSUkraine.org
Since so many Ukrainians are fleeing to Poland, a Greenburgh neighbor also recommends this Polish organization vetted by a colleague in a company he knows in the region: https://fundacjaukraina.eu/saveukraine-fundraising/?lang=en
Finally, Volunteer NY has posted a way to donate needed supplies either by buying directly from the AFYA Foundation wishlist on Amazon or delivering these specific items listed in the following link to its warehouse in Yonkers:
Thank you for caring!
