One town, Cape May, is providing aid to one town, Lutsk, Ukraine. Our community member Vesna Palifrova, long-term employee at our Crest Savings Bank has a family in Lutsk, Ukraine who are working with city officials to keep families and children stay alive as they live in bomb shelters and desperately work to get food and medical supplies. Vesna’s brother Zoran Donchev, had a factory that was bombed, now he is working front lines for food for his community. Lutsk is a North-Western city where many refugees crossing to Poland stop in looking for bread and basic necessities. Hearing this story, Shirley Phinney from Elaine’s, immediately wrote a check, and offered to host a 100% proceeds event on May 15th from 3 Pm to 8 PM. Donations can be made directly on the Go Fund page and all proceeds will be wired directly to Lutsk, Ukraine. We watch the news daily and feel helpless to show the American spirit of charity and love. Let Cape May County help this one town. We can make a difference. As they hover in the shelters, tears came to their eyes when they heard that Cape May, NJ would put Lutsk, Ukraine on the map.
