Ontario farmers stand united with Ukraine

To The Haldimand Press 

Ontario farmers are doing their part to support Ukrainians who have been forced to flee their homeland or are staying behind to defend it.

The fundraising effort started with a motion put forward by a director with the Essex County Federation of Agriculture (ECFA) to help support many local families with Ukrainian roots. As a result, ECFA committed $500 to the Canadian Red Cross Ukrainian Humanitarian Crisis Appeal and challenged other federations across the province to do the same. No matter the size of the donation, federations can also consider donating funds to support Ukrainian families through the Canadian Foodgrains Bank.
