Recently, a charity fair was held in the Yavoriv Secondary Education Institution of I-III Degrees No. 3 named after Taras Shevchenko, organized by grades 1-11 students.

The Lviv Regional Military Administration reported that.

Parents, teachers, and community members also attended the event.

During the charitable event, attendees were provided with gourmet treats and various products. Through collaborative efforts, 100,000 hryvnias were raised, which will be allocated to support soldiers.

Specifically, a portion of the profits will be allocated towards manufacturing drones, while the remainder will be given to volunteers to support the needs of service members.

For reference:

It's worth mentioning that a charity fair was held in Warsaw as part of the "Holidays on the Line of Fire" campaign. The fair was a joint effort of the Uniters Foundation, the "Ukrainian Home" Foundation, and the Association of Ukrainians in Poland. A total of 9 thousand zlotys was raised to buy gifts for Ukrainian children living in areas affected by the war.

Furthermore, the Zhytomyr Lyceum hosted a charity autumn fair called "Pumpkin-fest" in which 87,650 hryvnias were raised to support the Ukrainian military. The festival featured various activities such as a pumpkin porridge contest, a delicacy sale, student-led craft workshops, and an exhibition showcasing the lyceum students' crafts.

The Charity Fair, held in 2024 at the Diplomatic Academy in Kyiv under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, successfully raised over 1 million hryvnias (approximately $24,000) in donations. 26 embassy representatives participated in the event.

The Charity Fair-2024 was held on Saturday, November 30. It was co-organized by the Association Spouses of Ukrainian Diplomats Association and the International Women's Club of Kyiv (IWCK), together with Ukrainian artisans, artists, and partners, with the support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine and the General Directorate for Servicing Foreign Missions.

Earlier, the 26th Annual Charity Christmas Bazaar was held in the Latvian capital, Riga, organized by the International Women's Club of Riga. The event brought together residents, city guests, and representatives of foreign embassies, united by a common goal—supporting charitable initiatives.

It was also announced that leading up to the Christmas and New Year festivities, the Ukrainian brand "Yavereta" launched a charitable collection of patches and socks titled "Holidays in Antarctica." This collaboration between the brand and the National Antarctic Science Center of Ukraine aims to raise funds to support Ukrainian soldiers serving in Ukraine's armed forces. 30% of the proceeds from selling these products will aid polar explorers defending their country.
