Ukraine Support Lanark County is a grassroots initiative to bring families and individuals fleeing the war in Ukraine to our area. St James’ and other local churches are directly involved. We are organizing to provide billeted housing, medical, legal and psychological supports and to make sure people feel welcome here as long as they need to stay. A website is coming soon, and we’ll continue to pass on more information as it becomes available. Read about how St James’ Carleton Place is collecting donations in kind to support people as they arrive.
The main need right now is for cash to help cover airfare. Financial contributions are being coordinated by Carebridge Community Support. You can donate online by clicking the button below. Please be sure to follow the instructions. If you are more comfortable writing a check or giving cash on Sunday, please mark “Ukraine Support LC” in the memo field or on the envelope. We’ll pass those contributions along as quickly as we can.
In the “Write a private message to us (optional)” bar, type the word ‘Ukraine’. Any donation above $25 will get a charity receipt from Carebridge. If you don’t put Ukraine in the message, they won’t know it’s for this initiative… so it’s super SUPER important!
[ARCHIVED MARCH 25]
St James Carleton Place is currently accepting donations of clothing, toiletries, personal items and PPE on behalf of Ukraine Support Lanark County. You can drop items off at the Parish Hall located at
225 Edmund Street
Monday – Friday
9 am to 1 pm
5 pm to 7 pm (this week and March 21-25)
Please call 613-257-3178 to arrange a drop off time outside office hours.
Please no appliances or furniture. Imagine being on a long trip, and you loose your luggage. That’s more in line with what we’re looking for right now. These needs may change, so if you have other items you wish to contribute, hang onto them, or feel free to donate them somewhere else.
The other way you can help right now is by making a financial contribution. Read more about how you can do that in this announcement.
The Primate’s World Relief and Development Fund (PWRDF) is supporting Ukrainian refugees fleeing the war. Follow this link to read about how your church is involved in alliance in alliance with other Christian groups on the ground. You can contribute by going to pwrdf.org and following the directions there, by calling 416-822-9083, or by mailing a cheque, with “Ukraine” in the memo field, to PWRDF, 80 Hayden St, 3rd floor, Toronto, ON, M4y 3G2.
