On March 28, 2020, the Kirovohrad Eparchy of the UOC held a charity social event “Help Your Neighbour Stay Home” to help senior people during the coronavirus, reports the eparchy’s press service.
As part of the action, the clergy deliver hygiene products and supplies to elderly people who are vulnerable to coronavirus.

Food packages were formed from the donations of the parishioners of the cathedral, and funds for everyday needs were purchased at the expense of philanthropists.
The eparchy invites everyone to participate in the action. To participate, please call 068 323 81 35, Protd. Roman Melnik.
