The Sudbury Ukrainian community, YMCA Newcomer Services, Collège Boréal Settlement Services, Public Health Sudbury & Districts, Sudbury Local Immigration Partnership, United Way and several volunteer organizations and local churches are coming together in a coordinated effort to welcome, settle and support displaced Ukrainian nationals.
Many individuals and families will need furniture, beds and other essential items for daily living. Local organizations are working to collect basic goods and transport them to where they are most needed.
