A San Jose-based organization providing services to children with developmental disabilities and their families, donated more than $56,000 to Ukrainian organizations providing help to those with disabilities and mental health needs.
"It tells you about our community. It tells you about the culture and the customers that we have," Huggins said."They are not only buying thrift items from us, but they also support our mission."
Cathy Bouchard, the specialty director for Hope Services, was charged with interviewing and selecting the Ukrainian organizations that the fundraiser would benefit. “The funds raised will enable us to distribute critical emergency supplies and protect children from harm in Ukraine and neighboring countries," said Dori Ives, managing director of individual philanthropy for Save the Children.
