Update, March 8th: A new Facebook page for Flatbush Jewish Center's Ukraine support work has been set up. Follow it to see the latest updates and requests about the donation drive and humanitarian relief to Ukraine. The URL for "Ukraine Support in Brooklyn - hosted at FJC" is https://www.facebook.com/Brooklyn4Ukraine/.
-----------------------------------------------------
The donation drive in Kensington for humanitarian aid for Ukraine was an overwhelming success. The next step is picking up the donated supplies from Flatbush Jewish Center (FJC) tonight, tomorrow, and Wednesday and driving them by car, van, or truck to the Meest-America warehouse in New Jersey.
From the warehouse, Meest-America will ship the supplies for free to International Charitable Foundation Meest in Lviv to be dispersed to selected Ukrainian charity relief organizations.
