Despite the ongoing war in Ukraine, preparations for this year’s 2022 “Let’s fill their hearts with warmth” campaign are underway uniting CYMivci all around the world to collect gifts as well as funds for their peers in Ukraine, whose fathers or mothers are defending Ukraine’s sovereignity on the front lines against the Russian invaders.
Since the inception of the “Let’s fill their hearts with warmth” campaign seven years ago, CYM members and benefactors have collected and donated over 15,700 gifts to Ukraine for the staggering amount of $460,000 USD.
We are calling once again on our members from all branches: Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Etobicoke, Mississauga, Hamilton, St. Catharines as well as our large family of supporters to enthusiastically participate and collect gifts or funds to purchase gifts – clothes, school supplies, books, toys and sweets.
Similar to last year, this year’s campaign and distribution of gifts will not take place on the eve of Saint Nicholas Day (19 December) but instead during the entire Christmas period (25 December, 2021 – February 15, 2022).
For more detailed information please download the National Executive’s Information circular 11/22 from 27 September 2022.
