The Synodal Department for Social and Humanitarian Issues requests support for the "Easter Gift – to Children" campaign, which traditionally takes place for the celebration of the Resurrection of Christ in the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. As reported by the Department's press service, the organizers plan to purchase 2000 Easter cakes and sweet sets for 700 children.
The charitable campaign is held under the blessing of His Beatitude Metropolitan Onuphry of Kyiv and All Ukraine.
The Easter gifts are intended for children from families of displaced persons, orphans from boarding schools and rehabilitation centers, as well as children in frontline regions, particularly in the Kherson region.
