Nonprofit organization completes mission aiding Ukrainian refugees through stabilization efforts

Friends of Ukrainian Refugees

Two Ukrainian children in Wenatchee accept bicycle donations for them and their cousins from Friends of Ukraine Refugees. 

The Friends of Ukraine Refugees nonprofit organization is bringing its mission to a close after providing help to stabilize more than 200 Ukrainian refugees.

Board President Russell Speidel said the group has seen a decrease in Ukrainian refugees coming to North Central Washington, which ultimately led to their decision to close the charity.
