POMEROY–The Holy Rosary Church Faith Formation children raised $3,220 for the Ukraine Solidarity Fund which help war refugees with personal needs.
The Holy Rosary Church Faith Formation children in Connie Harris and Bob Wolf's class decided to raise money to help the Ukraine refugees by making posters and appealing for money from the church parishioners. The class collected $1,610 in two weeks and the local Knights of Columbus Charity matched this money with $1,610 for a total of $3,220. This total amount raised is being sent to the Ukraine Solidarity Fund to provide temporary shelter, food, clothing, medical supplies, communications and religious supplies. These items will be immediately distributed and one hundred percent of our money will go directly to the refugees.
When the kids collected the money, we discussed how they felt about this project. Here are some of their responses: "We want to do this for the refugees in Ukraine"..."For the children that left their dads and their homes"..."When we work together we can do a lot"..."We are learning about the corporal works of mercy"... "To feed the hungry and clothe the naked, that's what we did".
