Holodomor Food Drive Update

We have wrapped up another successful food drive in commemoration of the Holodomor Famine-Genocide of 1932-33 in Ukraine. Our lobby is now filled with boxes of donations from our members in the Toronto area branches and waiting to be delivered to the Daily Bread Food Bank. Branches outside Toronto held food drives in support of food banks in their home towns.

commemorations at our Etobicoke Branch


A special thanks goes out to the members and staff at St. Demetrius branch who donated the largest (by far) amount of canned and other non-perishable food items. Special thanks goes out to their creativity in suppling all sorts of fun extras like cookies, cereals and other goodies that will serve to make some family's day a bit brighter.

Also, our Etobicoke branch appeared in an article published in the Polish language newspaper "Korespondent". The article talks about the the Holodomor and mentions the commemorative display that our staff put up at the East Mall. A photo copy of the article appears to the left.

Also worth mentioning is that our membership in St. Catharines went above and beyond the call of duty in terms of the number of postcards that they signed to send to President Yanukovych calling on him to recognize the Holodomor as a genocide.

We thank everyone who participated for their generousity. You have made a difference in someone's life.
