CHAPTERS SUPPORT ING UKRAINE
SUNFLOWERS FOR PEACE
AHRC Suffolk's Program Without Walls linked up with Legislator Leslie Kennedy’s office to pack up and ship women’s items to Ukraine. In a short time, the day program participants collected and packed up pocketbooks filled with personal items to drop off at the H. Lee Dennison Building, where Ukrainian church members picked up the donated items to ship to the country in need. AHRC SUFFOLK COLLECTS ITEMS FORWOMEN IN UKRAINE
The sunflower is the national flower of Ukraine and has been a symbol of peace for many years. The sunflower’s bright yellow petals set against a brilliant blue sky echo the yellow and blue of the Ukrainian flag. To honor all of those affected by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, artists at The Arc of Monroe's Community Arts Connection decided to use a sunflower theme to influence their artwork.
