URCS organizes free lunches in Cherkasy for those in need
The team of the Ukrainian Red Cross Society (URCS) organizes free lunches in Cherkasy once a week for people facing difficult life circumstances.
“The Cherkasy regional branch of the Ukrainian Red Cross has established a unique support hub for those in need … Every Sunday, a free kitchen will be open to those in need on the grounds of St Michael's Garrison Cathedral,” URCS said on Facebook Wednesday.
On the first day of the support hub’s operation, 120 people in need were served hot lunches by volunteers – cereal with meat, vegetable salad, tea, and pies. In addition, it is possible to get clothing, footwear, utensils, and other essentials from the Clothing Bank to vulnerable populations.
There, volunteers will hold information sessions about the activities of the Ukrainian Red Cross, provide psychosocial support for both adults and children, conduct mine risk education sessions for children at the cathedral’s Sunday school to raise awareness of the dangers of explosive ordnance, and promote and develop volunteering.
