The City of Moose Jaw plans to hold a fundraising supper at Mosaic Place to support the humanitarian efforts in Ukraine.
In conjunction with building operating Spectra Venue Management Services, the event will occur Thursday, March 31 at 5:30 p.m., with a second sitting possible based on demand. All proceeds will be donated to the Canadian Red Cross’s Ukraine Humanitarian Crisis Appeal.
The menu will feature borscht, cabbage rolls, perogies, Ukrainian Co-op sausage, honey babka, coffee and tea, and additional beverages. Tickets are $25 each and are available at the SaskTix box office at Mosaic Place or online through the SaskTix website.
Residents can also use the SaskTix button on the City of Moose Jaw app.
“The brutal invasion of Ukraine by Russia is a heartbreaking reminder of the atrocities many in the world are faced with,” said Mayor Clive Tolley. “With this event, we’re hoping to provide critical support to those affected by this conflict. Moose Jaw stands ready to welcome any Ukrainians seeking refuge from this tragic, unnecessary war.”
All funds raised will enable the Red Cross and Red Crescent movement to respond to humanitarian needs generated by the current war and almost eight years of conflict in Ukraine. The support could include preparedness, immediate and ongoing relief efforts, long-term recovery, resiliency, and other critical humanitarian activities as needs arise, in Ukraine and surrounding countries, including supporting displaced populations.
Besides this supper fundraiser, the City of Moose Jaw has lit up the city hall clock tower in blue and yellow lights to support Ukraine.
