The Ukrainian Canadian Congress has joined forces with Canada-Ukraine Foundation to set up the Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal fund.

Stephen Jaddock is one of UCC's local advocates, and says the goal of $5 million has almost been reached.

"The money is going directly on the ground in Ukraine, to be directed exactly where the funds are needed."

CKDM knows how important this cause is to so many people around the Parkland, that's why the station has made a $1000 donation to the fund.

General Manager Allan Truman spoke about the donation.

"We have a large community of Ukrainians here in the Parkland.  They're concerned about what's happening there, and we share that concern."

Truman also encouraged others to support, however they're able to.

"We would encourage our many business partners, listeners, and all Manitoba media, if they have the means, to do what they can."

There is also a Stand with Ukraine rally taking place, tonight at 6, outside Dauphin City Hall.

You can find more information about the rally here, and you can make a donation to the Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal here.
