We packed two more export containers with 40 pallets of more humanitarian goods and relief aid for Ukraine. Thank you to everyone who continues to donate to this important cause.
We especially appreciate First Ukrainian Pentecostal Church for leading the drive to collect most of these materials (we just provide the storage and handle the logistics).
