JustServe looks to help Basin community support Ukrainian refugees

GRANT COUNTY - In a justserve.org project, a group of local community members are organizing help for Ukrainian refugees who relocate to Grant County.

“Many Ukrainian families have been forced to leave their home and find refuge in other countries. We are aware of nine families that have arrived in Grant County with very few personal belongings. These families are in need of housing and jobs but also personal and household items,” according to an announcement from justserve.org.

There are three ways for those who want to help:

1) If you would like to donate needed items an Amazon Wish List has been set up.To view and shop from the list visit: https://www.amazon.com/registries/custom/3FE0F62SNPVGP/guest-view

2) Donations of new and gently used clothing items are needed. Please be mindful of your gently used clothing, we will not have the time or means to sort through and dispose of worn items. Donations will be accepted at:
