New Year's Eve Fundraiser Brings Community Together to Support Life-Saving Equipment for Ukraine

The Washington Ukrainian Humanitarian Center welcomed 2026 with a New Year's Eve fundraising celebration that combined community, culture, and purpose. The event marked another successful project, with all funds raised designated for the purchase of defibrillators for Ukraine. Guests included longtime supporters returning for their third year, as well as first-time attendees discovering the Center and Ukrainian culture for the first time. The room reflected a diverse and growing community united around a shared mission.

A Gift for the Future

Thanks to the incredible generosity of Chip and Joan Filson, the biology classroom at Gymnasium #6 in Zviahel, Zhytomyr region, has been completely transformed. What was once a room with only two microscopes is now a fully equipped science lab. Every student now has access to their own microscope, and the teacher is equipped with a digital microscope that projects onto the classroom whiteboard—turning each lesson into a shared, hands-on exploration of the microscopic world. This project not only enhances the learning experience but also inspires a new generation of scientists and innovators.

Essential AID

Food Box Project

The Food Box Project, led by the Washington Ukrainian Humanitarian Center, has successfully delivered food assistance to more than 1,500 families across Ukraine. Launched in response to urgent humanitarian needs in war-affected areas, the project provided essential food boxes valued between $20 and $30 each—enough to feed a family of four for several weeks. All food packages were carefully assembled and distributed by our trusted partners and local volunteer organizations in Ukraine.
