Charities serving the Ukrainian community directly continue to lead the way. Around a third of all charities using the service represent various interests in the Ukrainian community, from church groups, to children's charities, to homes for the aged.
Recent additions to the list include:
- Canadian Ukrainian Immigrant Aid Society
- Children of Chornobyl Canadian Fund
- House of Prayer (Pentacostal-Slavic)
Other charities that have signed up range from The Saskatoon Ronald McDonald House, to the United Way of Kitchener-Waterloo, to the Meningitis Research Foundation of Canada, even The Donkey Sanctuary of Canada is now on board (bet this is the first time you ever heard of this organization, but donkeys need a place to call home too).
We are hoping soon to see other important causes represented such as charities dedicated to fighting cancer, Alzheimers and liver disease, charities fighting global poverty and more, since these and many more issues are important to our members. We also want to see more Ukrainian community charities take up the challenge to lead the way in introducing a truly important service to the Canadian public. UCU's example is already being repeated at several other credit unions across Canada including some major western-based credit unions.
