SOMERSET, N.J. – November is the month Americans celebrate Thanksgiving and also the month Ukrainians commemorate the victims of the Holodomor. The Ukrainian Orthodox League National Executive Board has decided that its annual recommended Thanksgiving Project will focus on bringing a greater awareness of the Holodomor, while helping the hungry in our own communities now and in the future.
Here are the UOL project recommendations.
The UOL is conducting a food drive at local parishes of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the U.S.A., collecting non-perishable foods and donating them to a local food bank, or by hosting a pop-up food drive at local parishes with Thanksgiving-related foods to distribute to the community.
