Daily News | A Montgomery County food festival raises funds for Ukraine’s armed forces
Every night this week, Nadia Skoropad finished her job at a local pharmaceutical company, drove to her Ukrainian church in Jenkintown and peeled potatoes until 10 p.m., preparing food for a fund-raiser to support Ukraine’s armed forces back home.
When doors opened at noon, hundreds of people braved the dicey roadways to show support for their Ukrainian neighbors. There was gridlocked traffic in the parking lot of St. Michael the Archangel Ukrainian Church, and for hours on end a line stretched halfway across the 15-acre suburban church campus, which some refer to as “Little Ukraine.”

But now we are concentrating on helping out Ukraine in any way that we can.”— Ukrainian shish kebab — which had been marinating in vats of onions and herbs since Friday morning. Outside, Askold Sandursky flipped skewers on the charcoal grill as he juggled phone calls in rapid Ukrainian.His phone rang again. Someone was calling about an order he had placed for military helmets to ship overseas.
Ihor Sydoryak, 57, head of the church’s council, said his sister has been hosting refugee families in her apartment in Lviv. Hundreds of thousands of refugees pass through the city each day as they trek west to Poland in search of safety.
