Support for Ukrainian Refugees Arriving in Ottawa
Annunciation of the Lord Parish has been asked to participate in collecting items for Ukrainian refugee families that will be arriving in Ottawa. We are awaiting more information but given that most have left their homes in Ukraine with just a suitcase or two, there will most certainly be a need for clothing (adult and children), toys and toiletries. Please stay tuned for more information.
