The Soap Lake Elementary School gym was full of donated items for Ukrainian refugees of the Soap Lake area to get items they need. Many left everything but a small suitcase behind.
There were children’s toys for refugees to pick out and some, like this child and his father, were eager to try them out. Many young refugees came to the area with little more than one backpack full of essentials.
Any leftover items from the refugee support drive are stored at the Evangelical Christian Baptist Church of Soap Lake or were donated to New Hope in Moses Lake.
SOAP LAKE - It all started with a teacher who saw a need.
