Ukrainian Catholic Archeparchy of Winnipeg raises over $100,000 for Kharkiv

The Ukrainian Catholic Archeparchy of Winnipeg raised $112,643.65 for humanitarian aid in Kharkiv and its surrounding region. The fundraising campaign, which began on August 10, 2026, exceeded its original goal of $30,000 to fund food and essential supplies.

The appeal followed a July visit to Poltava and Kharkiv by Auxiliary Bishop Andriy Rabiy. During that trip, Bishop Rabiy met with Bishop Vasyl Tuchapets, the Exarch of Kharkiv, and volunteers working with families displaced by the war.

The funds support people seeking assistance at St. Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral in Kharkiv. Between 1,500 and 2,000 people gather there every Thursday to receive medicine, clothing, footwear, and food.
