UUARC is listed on charity campaigns
PHILADELPHIA - The United Ukrainian American Relief Committee Inc. (UUARC), now in its 61st year of humanitarian aid to Ukrainians in need, receives and investigates more and more requests for assistance each year, and, due to the generosity of the Ukrainian American community, has been able to allocate and distribute between $500 and $3,500 per month.
In addition it funds many other long-term programs, such as a soup kitchen in Lviv, and assistance to homes for the elderly, orphanages and youth residences ("internaty").
The UUARC is affiliated and listed with Human Care Charities of America (HCCA) or Independent Charities of America (ICA) in the Combined Federal Campaign (No. 1221) and the Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York state employee campaigns. It is listed as independent in New Jersey, Michigan and the United Way of Southeastern Pennsylvania, and can be written-in on any United Way Campaign by just listing the UUARC's name and address (1206 Cottman Ave., Philadelphia, PA 19111). All this information is also available on the UUARC web-site at www.uuarc.org.
The UUARC notes that by giving through their employers donors not only help the needy but give recognition to the UUARC as an international private voluntary organization.
