HELP FILL A 40-FOOT CONTAINER FOR UKRAINE!
/In our mission to help The Union Club in collecting Donations for the Ukrainians in need, we were able to collect a grand total of $2,200 in goods in less than a week! All thanks to your generous support!
We’d like to thank Ken Smith and Kyle Mazzuchin our Special Lending Advisor with BMO, for meeting the challenge and donating $500. We’d also like to thank Mark Compton, Matt Cuttiford & Frank Minchin for their generous donations, along with all the other supporters who helped make this happen.
Although the window to support this valuable project in cooperation with the Union Club was a very short one, we also have the opportunity to support the Ukraine refugees stationed in neighboring countries by donating to Lions Clubs International (LCIF) Disaster Relief. Lions Clubs International has clubs of volunteers like Dave and I in Poland and Romania that are on the ground working directly to support the many refugees. Every dollar of every donation goes directly to helping the children and families displaced by their homes due to this devastating war. Club members are volunteers and all administration costs are paid by club member’s annual dues. Wherever there is a need, whether that be a war or a natural disaster like the floods in central BC, Lions members are there in the name of service. It is the largest service club in the world, with members in almost every country.
Our Lions Club, The Victoria Lions, will be making a donation in support of this effort. As a club we are able to request that the funds donated go to a specific project allowing us to ensure it goes to support the Ukrainian refugees. As we had some late donations come in we will be making a donation of $350 to LCIF with it being directed to the support effort in the Ukraine. If you’d like to contribute to this you can donate in the same way as before, by sending the money via e-transfer to bryan@lifeplangroup.ca with a note that it is for the LCIF aid project for the Ukraine refugees.
Thank you to everyone for your incredible generosity and support.
