People wanting to support the war effort in Ukraine while enjoying a delicious dinner and fun community gathering are invited to an event on Saturday, March 15 at Meaden Hall.
Authentic Ukrainian dishes will be served, and live music from Ukrainian and Canadian musicians will be enjoyed. Doors open at 4:30 p.m. for the event running from 5 to 9 p.m.
Tickets cost $50 and are available from Francis Bread, or at the door, if available. They can also be reserved by contacting Salt Spring Friends of Ukraine group members Victoria Olchowecki at 250-537-1528 or Igor Darmokhid at darmohid.i@gmail.com.
A lively auction will also add to the fundraising effort. All proceeds fund medical aid for Ukraine, including tactical first aid kits being distributed to soldiers on the front lines. Olchowecki said 12 such kits will be on their way to Ukraine this week as a result of generous donations by Salt Spring Film Festival attendees.
Donations can also be made directly by etransfer to helpukrainessi@gmail.com.
More information about how aid is distributed or how to most effectively help can be obtained from Olchowecki or Darmokhid.
