Community Living CK Donates To Loads Of Love

Each year Community Living Chatham-Kent (CLC-K) donates a portion of the proceeds raised from the Food Truck Crawl to a worthy cause. CLC-K has chosen to dedicate the 2022 Food Truck Crawl funds to children who have diverse abilities in Ukraine.

On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a full-scale attack on Ukraine, and according to The NGOs European Disability Forum, and Inclusion Europe, they estimate that there are at least 2.7 million people who access services in Ukraine. This vulnerable group of citizens are being neglected, and desperately require medicine, food, and water to survive.

“We are saddened by the ongoing crisis in Ukraine. We extend our thoughts and prayers to everyone impacted by this war, and hope to provide urgent care to those in need,” said Nicole Roeszler, Manager of Community Relations with Community Living Chatham-Kent.

Ed Dickson, Overseas Director for Loads of Love Humanitarian Aid and Mission, has been instrumental in assisting with directing the funds to Ukraine. “This donation will be used in the city of Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine, to help fifty families and people who have diverse abilities. The funds will help with desperately needed groceries and medicine.” Ed added, “We are beyond grateful to Community Living Chatham- Kent for their generous support.”
