Polish-Coloradans held a donation drive to collect clothing, blankets and shoes for the thousands fleeing their homes.
Karen Kapusta drove down from Blackhawk to donate several boxes of goods. For Kapusta, it’s personal.
Kapusta was having a hard time parting with some of the items she donated because they belonged to her late mother. According to data from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, as of Wednesday, More than 500,000 Ukrainian refugees have arrived in Poland since Feb. 24. The Colorado Polish community actually coordinated the donation drive with the Polish community in Chicago. Late Wednesday the boxes left the Rocky Mountains to go to Chicago and then off for Poland.
