Ukrainian Sacramento Gratitude Drive

Dear friends, who would have known that we would celebrate Independence Day for the fourth time during the war.

This great grief has fallen to our lot, but we believe that we will also have the joy of victory.

Well: “To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven. There is a time to weep and a time to rejoice.”

We invite all those who are pained by the war and believe in victory, those who are strong in will and spirit, to join the Ukrainian Sacramento Gratitude Car Drive in support of Ukraine and gratitude to the USA.
