On March 22, we received a visit from George Radich, who is a detective with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. He heard about our efforts to collect humanitarian supplies for police officers in Ukraine. George worked with his community and put together 2 pallets of antibacterial wipes and two pallets of medical cots that will be sent to Ukraine. He loaded his trailer with the supplies and made the 15 hour drive to the Tri-Cities. We want to thank George and those he worked with to make this happen.
We will be collecting humanitarian supplies, financial donations, and children’s artwork for Ukraine police officers through March 31, 2022
1. Make financial donations to our partner the Washington State Fraternal Order of Police. Funds will be used to purchase and ship supplies.
