"It means the world to all people in
Ukraine.Because every day when I am talking to them and I am
asking them what can we do to help ... they definitely need these

overseas this week, and more are on their way.

"So far, approximately 800 boxes. I don't
know how many in pounds, but we are trying to collect as much as we can,”
says Pastor Rev. Oleksii Holchuck.
Holchuck has family still living in Ukraine. He fought on the
front lines against Russian troops in 2014. He’s now pushing back in a different way.
"I want to fight, and I will fight
in my field as a priest,” says Holchuck. “I want to support our defenders as
much as I can, and I will do this and will continue to do this for all
of my life."
If you would like to help, you can drop off donations at the community
center in Secaucus and
the church in Clifton.
