Support for families in Ukraine affected by war
Our MISSION
Friends of Chervonohrad (FoC) is an organization with a mission to provide direct support to the community in Chervonohrad, Ukraine, 30 miles from the Polish border, which has seen a large influx of refugees from more dire parts of Ukraine impacted by war. It operates as an affiliate of a non-profit 501c3 organization Healthy Youth Healthy Community with all of its donations being tax deductible under ID 20-5061548.
Its co-founders are siblings Roman Malantchouk and Natalia Sawka, both of whom have been born and raised in Chervonohrad, still have much of their family residing there and therefore have close ties to the community.
