UKRAINIAN COMMUNITY SUPPORT FUND
The Fredericton Community Foundation has provided $15,895 to kick-start the fundraising campaign of the Multicultural Association of Fredericton (MCAF) in support of Ukrainian nationals and their families settling in the greater Fredericton region.
The dollars raised through the campaign efforts will go directly to Ukrainians to help offset the non-funded expenses of working and living in Canada. As the Ukrainians are not considered refugees, rather they are receiving a three-year temporary resident status through the Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel, those arriving in Canada cannot access any refugee funding provided by the government.
Dollars raised through the campaign will support items such as:
Welcome Baskets
Baby Supply Packages
Immigration Medical Exam Costs
Beds and Bedding
Bikes for Youth
Registration in Youth Activities
Children’s School Supplies
The Fredericton Community Foundation and MCAF together have created the Ukrainian Community Support Fund to collect public donations towards the campaign. Donations can be made through the Fredericton Community Foundation online or by calling the office at 506.454.2262.
