Ukraine Update:
Our Post 43 brother, Christopher Loverro, is back in Ukraine delivering humanitarian aid and supplies to people on the front lines.
We want to thank you all for your incredible generosity and support. Due to donations received through Post 43, we were able to donate $4,000 worth of tourniquets to the Ukraine mission! This is currently the #1 most requested item on the front lines due to the impact of injuries from shelling. Upon hearing about the donation, Loverro said, "Post 43 has just saved so many lives."
At this time, we are no longer collecting winter clothing donations and instead receiving monetary donations that can be made through the Main Office during normal business hours. These donations are being used to supplement much needed medical supplies, gear and shipping costs that will directly support this ongoing mission.
You can follow more updates and even donate directly at www.WFPtheatre.com.
If you have any other questions about supporting this mission, please email me at simone@post43.org.
