If you would like to help volunteer by providing needed articles, housing, finances, companionship, etc. for some of the Ukrainian arrivals arriving in our region please contact us and we will send you a volunteer intake form from our local community non-profit group: “Shelter for Ukrainians Society.” We are collecting Volunteer resources by having you fill out an online intake form and sending it in so we have a record in our data base of what might be available to support incoming individuals and families from Ukraine.
