Donations for United Help Ukraine

Since February 2022, war has ravaged the peaceful nation of Ukraine. Thousands have been killed, hundreds of thousands kidnapped and taken deep into Russia, and millions displaced. This tragic situation has hit close to home as Cassaday & Company, Inc., has two employees who are Ukrainian by birth and are very close to the horrible situation on the ground in their native country.

To provide aid and relief to the people of Ukraine, Cassaday & Company, Inc., will be collecting the items listed below in support of United Help Ukraine throughout the month of September.

United Help Ukraine, Inc., is a non-profit charitable organization receiving and distributing donations, food, and medical supplies to Ukrainian IDPs (internally displaced people), people of Ukraine affected by Russia’s invasion into Ukraine, and families of those wounded or killed in the fight for freedom and independence of Ukraine. To learn more about United Help Ukraine, click here.
