The group has helped refugee families find living accommodations, furniture, clothing and other necessities, adding it has the community to thank for that. “We’re very thankful to the community. Without the donations, you can only help so many people,” Lutsenko said. “So the community is helping and we’re able to help more people.”
SUN says its assistance will be ongoing, as more families are slated to arrive in the coming weeks and months. “We have applications coming in every day,” said Lutsenko. “We have eight families that are ready to come. They’re just waiting for documentation.”
