UUARC appeals for contributions

An appeal from the United Ukrainian American Relief Committee to all federal and state employees, and private industry workers.

Every year in September and October all federal and state government employees and private industry workers are encouraged to declare/donate money to their preferred charitable organization through payroll deductions.

Federal government employees and members of the U.S. armed forces do this through the Combined Federal Campaign, while state government employees and private industry workers do this through the United Way. We are pleased to announce that again this year Ukrainians and their friends may declare their contributions through payroll deduction to the United Ukrainian American Relief Committee.

The UUARC has worked actively and tirelessly since 1944 to meet the ever growing needs of disadvantaged Ukrainians throughout the world. Because of the present economic crisis in Ukraine, the needs are greater than ever. The UUARC is now providing eyeglasses for 10,000 needy orphans and homeless children in Ukraine (cost: $50,000). The UUARC also is continuing to work on various other ongoing projects in Europe, South America and the United States.

Federal government employees and members of the armed forces can do this by filling out their CFC Declaration form to Code No. 2943, while state employees and private industry workers may declare contributions by filling out their United Way declaration form under Donor Choice Code No. 01838 and the UUARC address: United Ukrainian American Relief Committee Inc., 1206 Cottman Ave., Philadelphia, PA 19111.

Again, the Executive Board of the UUARC would like to thank all benefactors through Combined Federal Campaign and the United Way for their generous support in the past. We extend our heartfelt thank you in advance for your continuing support in this upcoming season.
